I've got a black limousine
But the one man band by the quick lunch stand
And I play if you have the money
And the children let out from the schools
He was playin' real good for free
Across the street he stood
Nobody stopped to hear him
I heard his refrain as that signal changed
I was waitin' for the walkin' green
The wind rushed around in the dirty town
Though he played so sweet and high
I meant to go over to I mean ask for a song
They knew, he had never been on their TV
And sixteen gentlemen, escorting me to this halls
Maybe put on some kind of harmony
So they passed his good music by
Now me, I play for fortune
And those velvet curtain calls
And he played real good on his clarinet for free
Or if you're some kind of friend to me
I was standin' on a noisy corner
