Well 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
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
With 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
With 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
Well 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
With 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
With my one man band
Oh i'm a one man band
Just a one man band
Oh i'm a one man band
