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.
