Harry the one-man band Living best he can Poor old man Can't read or write Can't afford a light for the cigarette he's found on the ground Harry the one-man band No ambitious plans Poor old man No home or wife Bust all his life paper pillows for his head and a wooden bed So give him a penny he don't get many Give him a shilling if you can Harry's out in the rain Harry's out in the snow Anywhere the people are Harry's sure to go Playing for his food Playing on his drums Lots of people passing by But Harry's having fun Harry the one-man band Needs a helping hand Poor old man Stuck in his ways Spends all his days wandering where his next meal will be coming from So give him a penny he don't get many Give him a shilling if you can Harry's out in the rain Harry's out in the snow Anywhere the people are Harry's sure to go Playing for his food Playing on his drums Lots of people passing by But Harry's having fun So give him a penny he don't get many Give him a shilling if you can Harry's out in the rain Harry's out in the snow Anywhere the people are Harry's sure to go Playing for his food Playing on his drums Lots of people passing by But Harry's having fun
