Transcript
00:00He was a one-man band with a drum on his back
00:10In the heart of the city, keeping perfect track
00:13Symbols on his ankles, they jingled with flair
00:17A lively little tune floating through the air
00:21With a smile on his face, he started to play
00:25An infectious rhythm that would brighten your day
00:29Oh, he played all day in the city streets
00:34Banging out his tunes to everyone he meets
00:37A spirit so free under sun and shade
00:41That one-man band in the music he made
00:46He strummed his banjo with fingers so quick
00:57Notes flying like birds, every strum was a trick
01:00A washboard for a snare, he kept the beat tight
01:04The crowd grew around him, drawn to the light
01:08With a piano accordion, he changed the song
01:12Taking us all on a journey so long
01:15Oh, he played all day in the city streets
01:20Banging out his tunes to everyone he meets
01:24A spirit so free under sun and shade
01:27That one-man band in the music he made
01:32The kids danced and spun as he played with pride
01:43With laughter in their eyes, they swayed side by side
01:47Old folks gathered close, reminiscing the past
01:50Each note of memory, it was bliss that would last
01:54His kazoo in the mix would bring out a grin
01:58A quirky little sound, it made the fun begin
02:01In rain or in shine, he never backed down
02:05A beacon of joy in that bustling town
02:09With every performance, he'd pour out his heart
02:12Each note he delivered, a delicate art
02:16Oh, he played all day in the city streets
02:21Banging out his tunes to everyone he meets
02:24A spirit so free under sun and shade
