| Around the corner a different world
|
| Conversation overheard ohhhh
|
| Between a man and a saxophone
|
| Saxophone and mister drunk and stoned ohhh
|
| He only knows one melody
|
| You know which one I mean
|
| I drop some change in his hat and leave.
|
| Walk into the corner store
|
| Through neon signs and revolving doors. |
| ohooh
|
| As if just to add to the atmosphere
|
| The man behind the counter has a snow white beard
|
| That goes all the way down to the floor
|
| I like the music on the radio
|
| You know which one I mean
|
| And this is how it goes: Da da, da da, da da da
|
| (Horns playing)
|
| Outside on the public phone
|
| There he is again.
|
| Mister drunk and stoned
|
| He’s got no money but a golden smile
|
| Sidewalk torero wave me by ohhhh
|
| I’m whistling his melody
|
| You know which one I mean
|
| Suddenly he stops playing
|
| And looks at me
|
| And the band goes Da da, da da, da da da
|
| (Horns playing) Humming |
