lyrics

Musicians make it look easy living on the street.
Hitting bottles, playing guitar, singing melodies.
What have I got?

A sign to beg, a hand to take, four working limbs and a dirty face.
A holey hat, a ratty shirt, an empty belly and a head that hurts.
That's nothing!

Musicians make it look easy living on the street.
Hitting buckets, playing trumpet, singing melodies.
What have I got?

I'm half-grown, a mind of goo. No place to sleep but behind the zoo.
I have two strong feet for running away. And two quick hands for steeling all day.
That's something!

Musicians make it look easy living on the street.
Hitting jawbones, playing banjo, singing melodies.
What have I got?

The nose of a mouse, the lives of a cat. The easy feat of circus acts.
I can juggle. I can flip. I can whistle and get tips.
Cha cha ching! Cha cha cha ching!

Musicians make it look easy living on the street.
Catching flying pins, playing sax, singing melodies.
