One Man Band

Everybody 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 lawman comes and says move along

So you move along all day

I'm a one man band

Nobody cares nor understands

Is there anybody out there wanna 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

When I can play you any song you like

To cheer up the life you lead

I'm a one man band

Nobody cares nor understands

Is there anybody out there wanna lend a hand

To my one man band

And oh, oh, oh, look at the rain falling

Oh, oh, oh look at it rain

Oh look at it rain

Nobody sees the minstrel boy

As he sings his tale of woe

Nobody sees him coming, nobody sees him go

So hey there mister don't you look so sad

Don't look so ill at ease

When I can play you any song you like

To cheer up the life you lead

I'm a one man band

Nobody cares nor understands

Is there anybody out there wanna lend a hand

To my one man band
