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. Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp.
Down On The Corner, out in the street, Willy and the Poorboys are playin'; Bring a nickel; tap your feet.
Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile, Blinky, thumps the gut bass and solos for a while. Poorboy twangs the rhythm 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 playin'; Bring a nickel; tap your feet.
Down On The Corner, out in the street, Willy 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 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 playin'; Bring a nickel; tap your feet.
Down On The Corner, out in the street, Willy and the Poorboys are playin'; Bring a nickel; tap your feet.
Down On The Corner, out in the street, Willy and the Poorboys are playin'; Bring a nickel; tap your feet.
Перевод на русский язык:
В самом начале вечера, перед ужином, Они начинают играть - оцените. Четверка на углу пробует зацепить вас. Вилли подбирает мелодию на своей арфе.
Припев. На углу улицы для вас Играют Вилли и , Бросайте монеты и приплясывайте.
Озорник со стиральной доской смешит народ, Моргун - и бас, и соло без проблем. Бедняга бренчит ритм на своей гитаре, Вилли пританцовывает и дудит в <казу>*.
Припев - 2 р.
Если нету пенни, то можно просто постоять, Но если никель есть, почему не бросить? На углу народ радостно шумит, Всем слушателям нравится музыка ребят.
