Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I slept last night in a good hotel

I went shoppin' today for jewels

The wind rushed around in the dirty town

And the children let out from their school

I was standin' on a noisy corner

Waitin' for the walkin' green

Across the street, he stood

And he played real good

On his clarinet for free

[Verse 2]

Now me, I play for fortunes

And those velvet curtain calls

I've got a black Limousine and two gentlemen

Who escort me through these halls

And I'll play if you've got the money

Or if you're a friend to me

But the one-man band by the quick lunch stand

He's been playin' real good for free

[Verse 3]

Nobody stopped to hear him

Though he played so sweet and high

They knew he had never been on the TV

So they passed his music by

I meant to go over and ask for a song

Maybe put on a harmony

I heard his refrain as the signal changed

He was playin' real good for free
