Real Good for Free |
I slept last night in a good hotel |
I went shopping today for jewels |
The wind rushed around the dirty room |
And the children let out from their schools |
I was standing on a noisy corner |
Waiting for the walking green |
Across the street he stood |
And he played real good |
On his clarinet, for free |
Now me I play for fortune |
And those velvet curtain calls |
I’ve got a black limousine |
And two ladies |
Escorting me to the halls |
And I play if you have the money |
Or if you’re a friend to me |
But the one man band |
By the quick lunch stand |
He was playing real good, for free |
Nobody stopped to hear him |
Though he played so sweet and high |
They knew he had never |
Been on the TV screen |
So they passed his music by |
I meant to go over and ask for a song |
Maybe put on a harmony |
I heard his refrain |
As the signal changed |
He was still playing real good, for free |
