Mr Music Man

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
