Verse 1:

Early in the evenin' just about supper time, over by the courthouse,

they're starting to unwind, four kids on the corner, trying to bring you up,
SOL DO
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp.
Chorus
FA DO SOL DO FA DO
Down on the corner, out in the street, Willy and the Poorboys are playin'
SOL DO
bring a nickel, tap your feet.
Verse 2:
DO SOL DO
Rooster hits the washboard, and people just gotta smile, Blinky thumps the

gut bass and solos for awhile. Poor-boy twangs the rhythm out on his
SOL DO
Kalamazoo. And Willy goes in to a dance and doubles on Kazoo.
repeat chorus:
3rd verse:
DO SOL DO
You don't need a penny just to hang around, but if you got a nickel won't
SOL DO FA DO
you lay your money down. Over on the corner, there's a happy noise,

people come from all around to watch the magic boy.
