Over by the courthouse, G C F C they're starting to unwind. Four kids on the corner, trying to bring you up. G C Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp. [Chorus] F C G C F C Down on the corner, out in the street. Willy and the Poorboys are playin', G C bring a nickel, tap your feet. [Verse 2] C G C Rooster hits the washboard, and people just gotta smile. Blinky thumps the G C F C gut bass and solos for a while. Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his G C Kalamazoo. And Willy goes into a dance and doubles on Kazoo. [Chorus] F C G C F C Down on the corner, out in the street. Willy and the Poorboys are playin', G C bring a nickel, tap your feet. | Riff 1 | Riff 1 | Riff 2 | Riff 1 | F C G C F C Down on the corner, out in the street.

But if you got a nickel, won't G C F C you lay your money down. Over on the corner, there's a happy noise. G C People come from all around to watch the magic boy. [Chorus] F C G C F C Down on the corner, out in the street. Willy and the Poorboys are playin', G C bring a nickel, tap your feet. F C G C F C Down on the corner, out in the street. Willy and the Poorboys are playin', G C bring a nickel, tap your feet. F C G C F C Down on the corner, out in the street. Willy and the Poorboys are playin', G C bring a nickel, tap your feet. F C G C F C Down on the corner, out in the street. Willy and the Poorboys are playin', (fade out)
