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.
w**** picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp.
Down On The Corner, out in the street,
w**** and the Poorboys are playin';
Bring a nickel; tap your feet.
You don't need a penny just to hang around,
But if you've got a nickel, won't you put your money down?
Over on the corner there's a happy noise.
People come from all around to hear the magic boys.
