Bring a nick-el, tap your feet

verse 2.
Rooster hits the wash board, 
and people just got to smile
Blinky thumps the gut-bass 
and solos for a while
Poorboy twangs the rhythm out, 
on his kalamazoo
Willie goes into a dance 
and doubles on kazoo

CHORUS:
verse 3.
You don't need a penny, 
just to hang around
But if you 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
