The Busker

-1-

There's a man with a guitar
singing songs on the pavement

And he wants to be famous
for a night and a day

-

In his arms he holds the charm
of words that came between us

And he whispers in your ear
the words that you can't say


-2-

If I was you I'd walk away
Don't walk on the wild side !

'Cos you've seen his face before
He lives outside the law

-

He smells of fish and chips
and his breath's like
the kiss of death

How many roads
must a man walk down ?


-3-

When the road that leads to Hell
is paved with good intentions

Now he's about to play
knocking on Heaven's door

-

These boots were made for walking
and that's just what they'll do

One of these days these boots
are gonna walk all over you


-4-

Let me take you by the hand
I'll lead you through the
streets of London

I'll show you something
that'll make you change your mind

-

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

(We'll sing ...)
London Bridge is falling down


-5-

(We'll sing ...)
London Bridge is falling down

(We'll sing ...)
London Bridge is falling down

-

Yesterday all my troubles
seemed so far away

Tomorrow tomorrow
I love you tomorrow


-6-

He's the King of the Road
He's one of the Dirty Dozen

'Cos he doesn't have a home
He sleeps in a cardboard box

-

Little boxes little boxes
Little boxes made of ticky tacky

With a can of lager
and a pipe of squidgy black


-7-

Or a bottle of the hard stuff
Or any kind of medicine

Which will feed your addiction
so you don't feel the cold

-

Like Puff the Magic Dragon
who lived by the sea

Pass the Duchy to the left
That means pass it to me


-8-

Can you spare me some change ?
Make it worth my while

Cross my palm with forty
silver coins just for a smile

-

And I'll sing you a song
No I won't tell a lie

I think you know the words by now

Whoopee we're all gonna die !
