Well, everybody knows down Ladbrooke Grove
You have to leap across the street
You can lose your life under a taxicab
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 lawman comes and 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, 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
When I can play you any song you like
To cheer up that life you lead

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 sees him go

So hey there, mister, don't you look so sad
Don't look so ill at ease
When 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

Well, I'm a one man band
Just a one man band
Well, I'm a one man band...
