1. Early in the evening just about suppertime
Over by the courthouse they're starting to unwind
Poor kids on the corner trying to break it up
Willy picks a tune out he knows they're gonna start
R: Down on the Corner out in the street
Willy and the poor boys are playing
bring a nickel tap your feet
2. 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!
R: Down on the Corner... (3x)
3. 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
R: Down on the Corner... (5x)
