bring a nickle, tap your feet

rooster hits the wahsboard 
people just got to smile
blinky thumbs the gutbass 
and soloes for a while
poorboy twangs the rythem out
on his kalamazoo
willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo

down on the corner,
out in the street,
willy and the poorboys are playing,
bring a nickle, tap your feet

down on the corner,
out in the street,
willy and the poorboys are playing,
bring a nickle, tap your feet

you don't need a penny 
just to hang around 
but if you've got a nickle
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 in the street,
willy and the poorboys are playing,
bring a nickle, tap your feet
