Verse 1:
C                          G                 C
Early in the evenin', well just about supper time
                                G             C
Over by the courthouse, they're starting to unwind
F                       C
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
Down on the corner, out in the street
              F             C
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
        G                C
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

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


Chorus:
F           C       G          C
Down on the corner, out in the street
              F             C
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'

Bring a nickel, tap your feet

                                      G              C
But if you've got a nickel, won't you lay your money down?
F                   C
Over on the corner, there's a happy noise
                               G               C
People come from all around to watch the magic boy


Out-Chorus:
F           C       G          C
Down on the corner, out in the street
              F             C
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'

Bring a nickel, tap your feet

Down on the corner, out in the street

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