Early in the evenin' just about supper time,
Over by the courthouse they're starting to unwind.
Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up.
w____ picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp.

Down On The Corner, out in the street,
w____ and the Poorboys are playin';
Bring a nickel; tap your feet.

Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile,
Blinky, thumps the gut bass and solos for a while.
Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo.
w____ goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo.

Down On The Corner, out in the street,
w____ and the Poorboys are playin';
Bring a nickel; tap your feet.

You dont need a penny just to hang around,
But if youve got a nickel, wont you lay your money down?
Over on the corner theres a happy noise.
People come from all around to watch the magic boy.
