Harry the one-man band Living best he can Poor old man can't read or write Can't afford a light for the cigarette He's found on the ground
Harry the one-man band No amitious plans Poor old man no home or wife Bust all his life paper pillows For his head and a wooden bed
So give him a penny he don't get many Give him a shilling if you can Harry's out in rain, Harry's out in snow Anywhere the people are Harry's sure to go Playing for his food, playing on his drums Lots of people passing by But Harry's having fun
Harry the one-man band Needs a helping hand Poor old man stuck in his ways Spends all his days wandering Where his next meal will be coming from
So give him a penny he don't get many Give him a shilling if you can Harry's out in rain, Harry's out in snow Anywhere the people are Harry's sure to go Playing for his food, playing on his drums Lots of people passing by But Harry's having fun
Give him a penny he don't get many Give him a shilling if you can
