I slept last night in a good hotel |
| [00:22.75] |
I went shopping today for jewels |
| [00:30.77] |
The wind rushed around in the dirty town, |
| [00:41.13] |
and the children let out from the schools |
| [00:48.66] |
I was standing on a noisy corner, |
| [00:59.06] |
waiting for the walking green |
| [01:08.62] |
across the street he stood |
| [01:11.37] |
and he played real good, |
| [01:14.71] |
on his clarinet for free |
| [01:25.96] |
|
| [01:31.15] |
Now me I play for fortunes, |
| [01:37.97] |
and those velvet curtain calls |
| [01:46.14] |
I got a black Limousine and two gentlemen |
| [01:55.60] |
escorting me to the halls |
| [02:04.97] |
And I'll play if you have the money, |
| [02:13.84] |
or if you're a friend to me |
| [02:24.15] |
But the one man band, |
| [02:26.34] |
by the quick lunch stand, |
| [02:29.52] |
He was playing real good for free |
| [02:38.94] |
|
| [02:46.40] |
Nobody stoped to hear him, |
| [02:53.78] |
though he played so sweet and high |
| [03:05.39] |
They knew he had never been on their tv |
| [03:11.62] |
so they passed his music by |
| [03:23.37] |
I meant to go over and ask for a song, |
| [03:29.80] |
maybe put on a harmony |
| [03:40.76] |
I heard his refrain |
| [03:43.01] |
as the signal changed |
| [03:46.25] |
He was playing real good for free |
