One Man Band

Ev'rybody knows down ladbroke grove
You have to leap across the street
You can lose your life under a taxi cab
You gotta have eyes in your feet
You find a nice soft corner and you sit right down
Take up your guitar and play
Then the police come and say move along
So you move along all day.
I'm a one man band

Nobody cares or understands.
Is there anybody out there who could lend a hand
To my one man band?

For three days now i haven't eaten at all

My
My
I must be getting so thin

Soon my cap won't be large enough
To drop a half a crown in.

So hey
There
Mister
Don't you look so sad

Don't look so ill at ease

I can play you any song you choose
To cheer up the life you lead.
I'm a one man band

And nobody hears the minstrel boy

As he sings his tale of woe

Nobody sees him disappear

And nobody sees him go.

So hey
There
Mister
Don't you look so sad

I'm a one man band

Oh
Look at the rain falling.
Oh
Look at the rain.
