The sun is warm as the day is long
Just got the feeling I can do no wrong
Got a long way to walk can't afford my next meal,
I tell a few lies, but my hunger is real and it...
Chorus:
won't mean thing in 100 years
no it won't mean a thing in 100 years

Mademoiselle tell me do you play
well if she shakes her head well
then that's OK
I watch her walk away in haste
there's just no accounting for
some people's taste
and it...
Chorus

Big angry men in the doorway there
Just keep on walking like I don't care
Why you giving such an evil eye
could it be you were ignored by
every passerby
and it...
Chorus

Play in the park for tobacco and food
then I excuse myself but they think I'm rude
Tourist don't want me to end his show
but this colorful attraction got
place to go
and it...
Chorus

Sit at the pier watch the sun go down
Another lost little boy in a big old town
I want to laugh, I want to cry
but no matter how hard I may try
Chorus twice
