Down on the Corner Songtext
von Adam Harvey

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

Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

Rooster hits the washboard, and people got to smile
Blinky thumps the gut bass, and he solos for a while
Poor boy twangs the rhythm out on his Kalamazoo
Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo

Down on the corner, out here in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

Come on, Leo

Oh, yeah


Down on the corner, out here in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin′
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

You don′t need a penny just to hang around
But if you've 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 boy

Down on the corner, out here in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin′
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

Down on the corner, out here in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

Down on the corner, out here in the street
Leo and the Poor Boys are playin′ (yeah)
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

Down on the corner, out here in the street
Adam and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
