"Harry The One-Man Band" lyrics

"Harry The One-Man Band"

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
