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

[Verse 3]
C                      G              C
You don't need a penny just to hang around.
    C                               G             C
But if you got a nickel, won't you lay your money down.
F                   C
Over on the corner, there's a happy noise.
C                               G              C
People come from all around to watch the magic boy.
[Chorus]
