 Often the  is actualy  ->  but i couldn't be bothered to fill it in
 I got beans, tea,  and pennies  to dollars,
Canadian, Euros,  and Pounds.
 I found  some bar on a card with some scratch  on the back,
 It says, "One  drink for free.  Just stop  in sometime,  it's on me.
Bring  your guitar,  sing of rising  moons, whiskey,  and jars."
 And if I  had a dime for each cigarette...
Lint,  after-dinner mints  and bread.  A ten
 From father and toddler that smiled  for a medley  and said,
 "Here's to luck!  You're pretty  damn good,  keep it up.
 If ever  you make  it on music TV  think of us."
I'd  earn busker's wages,
 Read life  between pages and lines.  X 2
 A fiddle  and Matty  O'Boyle and I,  with six wires,
 Creep out  for a strum and a saw,
 Singin' songs  'til the cops sing along.
 solo eh?
 So tonight,  I walk by  the old corner,
 Some stranger  has taken  my place.
 I'll scrape  the crumbs  off my pocket
 And spice  up a clarinet case.
 INTRO x 1
 I'd earn  busker's wages,
 Read life  between pages and lines.  X 4
 Now when I  snap up  and wrap up  for the drive,
 I think  of the best  money I've  ever made  in my  x 2
 I think  of the best  money i've  ever made  in my life
 Intro x 1
 Enjoy! Olly.
