A busker plays to fill his belly
He plays to entertain the crowds
You won't see him on the telly but he's playing pretty much
Anywhere he is aloud
And some might say he is a nuisance
And others swear he is a bard
And you've any number of excuses why you never drop a coin
But a busker's life is hard
'Coz he's out playing in all weathers
Come rain or shine he's got a tune
No don't confuse him with the beggars my friends
'Coz when a busker plays, a busker plays for you
And he's just trying to make a living
And people shout, "Oi get a job!"
And he knows that relies upon the giving nature of the passers by
But if you ask he'll play your favourite song
And if you think this isn't grafting
Well maybe you should have a go
And we will see how long you last friend, on the streets of England's towns
And we'll see how many songs you know
'Coz he's out playing in all weathers
Come rain or shine he's got a tune
No don't confuse him with the beggars my friends
'Coz when a busker plays, a busker plays for you
And even if no-one was watching, he'd be playing anyway
It's in his blood, in it's in his nature, it's just a bonus if he's paid
And if you think he'll spend your money on heroin or crack cocaine
Not every busker is a junkie, just like every passer by is not the same
'Coz he's out playing in all weathers
Come rain or shine he's got a tune
No don't confuse him with the beggars my friends
'Coz when a busker plays, a busker plays for you
A busker plays for you
A busker plays for you
A busker plays for you

I saw Funke and the Two Tone Baby for the first time last night at a party in a boat on the Thames. I absolutely loved it - why haven't I heard of you before? fionapb
