Well 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
But then the law man comes says move along
So you move along all day
Well I'm a one man band
Nobody knows nor understands
Is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand
To my one man band?
For three days now I haven't eaten at all
My, my you must be getting so thin
And 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
Well I can play you any song you like
To cheer up that life you lead
Well I'm a one man band
Nobody knows nor understands
Is there anybody out there wanna lend me 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 see him go
So hey there mister don't you look so sad
Don't look so ill at ease
Well I can play you any song you like
To cheer up that life you lead
Well I'm a one man band
Nobody knows nor understands
Is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand
To my one man band?
Well I'm a one man band
Nobody knows nor understands
Is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand
To my one man band?
Oh I'm a one man band
Just a one man band
Oh I'm a one man band
