Mr Music Man Lyrics

I've written some words, they stand in line

They are in my brain all the time

I shuffle them about every now and then

Repeat, move along and start again

They have no rhythm to tap my toes to

My simple rhymes are waiting for you

Hey Mr music man, can we meet?

To see if you can add that beat

That makes those people sing and dance

Hey Mr music man is there any chance

My words tell some stories of people I knew

Places I've been, some of them true

Those that aren't were written for fun

Hey Mr music man, bring your drum

A guitar, piano and mouth organ too

My simple rhymes are waiting for you

Hey Mr music man can we meet?

To see if you can add that beat

That makes those people sing and dance

Hey Mr music man, is there any chance?

I heard a rumour, I hope it's true

That the music man, yes that's you

Can spray angel dust that brings words to life

I'm told your fingers glide across their path

Making tunes which forever last

Hey Mr music man can we meet

To see if you can add that beat

That makes those people sing and dance

Hey Mr music man is there any chance?

It seems so simple and easy to do

But hey Mr music man, there aren't many like you

Who take the words which stand in line

And spray the dust to make rhythm and rhyme

I'm told your fingers glide across their path

Making tunes which forever last

Hey Mr music man at last we meet

And I now know you can add that beat

To change my words that stood in line

And give them meaning with rhythm and rhyme

You've run your fingers across their path

Making tunes which will forever last
