[Verse 1]
C                      G                C
Early in the evenin', just about supper time.  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.

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 3]
C                      G              C
You don't need a penny just to hang around.  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

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',
