  • 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 want to 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 want to 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 want to 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 want to 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 Writer/s: DAVID COURTNEY, LEO SAYER
