Poor Boy twangs the rhythm out on his Kalamazoo
Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Down on the corner, out in the street
Down on the corner, out in the street
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

Songwriter: John Fogerty
Down on the corner, out in the street
People come from all around to watch the magic boy
Four kids on the corner tryin' to bring you up
Down on the corner, out in the street
But if you've got a nickel, won't you lay your money down?
'Willy And The Poor Boys' are playin'
And Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo
Down on the corner, out in the street
'Willy And The Poor Boys' are playin'
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp
Down on the corner, out in the street
Blinky thumps the gut bass and solos for a while
You don't need a penny just to hang around
'Willy And The Poor Boys' are playin'
Early in the evenin' just about supper time
Over by the courthouse they're startin' to unwind
'Willy And The Poor Boys' are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
'Willy And The Poor Boys' are playin'
Over on the corner there's a happy goal
'Willy And The Poor Boys' are playin'
'Willy And The Poor Boys' are playin'
