[Verse 1]
I smashed, last night, in a good hotel
I went shopping today, for jewels
The wind rushed around in the dirty town
And the children let out, the schools

[Verse 2]
I was standing on an noisy corner
Waiting for the walking green
Across the street stood
And he played real good and his, clarinet
For free

[Verse 3]
Nobody stopped to hear him
Though he played so sweet and high
They knew he had never been on their TV
So they passed his music by

[Verse 4]
I went to go over and ask for a song
Maybe put on a harmony
I heard his refrain, as the signal changed
He was playing real good
For free
[Verse 4 Repeat]
I went to go over and ask for a song
Maybе put on a harmony
But the one-man band, by the [?] stand
Hе was playing real good
For free
