D5                   A5               D5

Early in the evening just about suppertime 

D5                             A5            D5

Over by the courthouse they're starting to unwind 

G5                      D5

Poor kids on the corner trying to break it up 

D5                        A5                  D5

Willy picks a tune out he knows they're gonna start



Chorus:

G5          D5     A5         D5

Down on the Corner out in the street

              G5            D5

Willy and the poor boys are playing

        A5              D5

bring a nickel tap your feet

(verse)

Johnny hits the washboard people just gotta smile 

Robby thumbs a gut bass and solos for awhile

Poor boy playing rhythm on his Kalamazoo 

Willy goes into a dance a doubles on Kazoo 

Hey!



(chorus)

Down on the Corner out in the street

Willy and the poor boys are playing

bring a nickel tap your feet



Solo:

(verse - guitar out for bass mini-solo)

You dont need a penny just to hang around 

But if you got a nickel won't you lay your money down

Over on the corner there's a happy noise 

People come from all around to watch the magic boys

Willy and the poor boys are playing

bring a nickel tap your feet

Down on the Corner out in the street

Willy and the poor boys are playing

bring a nickel tap your feet

Willy and the poor boys are playing
