- One Man Band Lyrics / with translationsEv'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.
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
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.
