Everybody knows down ladbrook 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,
|
pick up your guitar and play.
|
Then the police come and says 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 chose
|
to cheer up the life you lead.
|
|
Oh I'm a one man band
|
nobody sees nor understands.
|
Is there anybody out there who could lend a hand
|
to my one man band.
|
|
And oh oh oh look at the rain falling
|
oh oh oh look at the rain
|
|
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 look so sad,
|
don't feel so ill at ease.
|
I can play you any song you chose,
|
to cheer up the life you lead.
|
|
Oh I'm a one man band
|
nobody sees nor understands.
|
Is there anybody out there who could lend me a hand,
|
to my one man band.
|
|
Oh I'm a one man band
|
nobody cares nor understands.
|
Is there anybody here who could lend a hand,
|
to my one man band
|
|
I'm a one man band
|
I'm a one man band
|
Ooo one man band
|
Ooo I'm a one man band
|
Oh I'm a one man band
|
Ooo one man band
|
