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
