He sits on the corner of a busy street
People passing by stop for a treat
Of good time music with a jug band beat
Straight out of Dixieland
He sings with smile across his face
Picks the blues for a change of pace
Throw a couple bucks in the guitar case
Of the One Man Band

One Man Band
One Man Band
One Man Band
He’s the One Man Band

He can play the banjo and the mandolin
Bass drum, tuba and accordion
A high hat cymbal taped to each shin
Harmonica close at hand
The One Man Band is quite a show
But you won’t hear him on the radio
Making his music from head to toe
He’s the One Man Band

One Man Band
One Man Band
One Man Band
He’s the One Man Band
