they're starting to unwind
and he blows it on the harp
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willie and the poor boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Booster hits to washboard,
Blinky thumps the gut bass,
Poor boy twangs the rhythm back,
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willie and the poor boys are playing
Bring a nickel, tap your feet, and again
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willie and the poor boys are playing
Bring a nickel, tap your feet,
won't you lay your money down?
oh, there's a happy noise
People come from all around
Down on the corner, out in the street,
Willie and the Pompoy's a -playin',
bring a nickel, tap your feet.
Down on the corner, out in the street,
Willie and the Pompoy's a -playin',
bring a nickel, tap your feet.
Down on the corner, out in the street,
Willie and the Pompoy's a -playin',
bring a nickel, tap your feet.
William the poor boy's a -playin'
