penny music

throw a penny from the window, watch an old man play a song, on a twenty dollar violin he bought before the war, though he screeches and he scratches, and the notes are always wrong, but he plays like he's in concert, on the street outside my door, choose to suit your fancy, are there any requests?, i'll play them for a pennyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, and not a penny less, he's the local vertuoso, it's his only way of life, plays 97 overtures, and goes on home to his wife, in the quiet of the evening, while his frozen fingers bleed, he counts pennies, on the blanket to supply his meeger needs, choose to suit your fancy, are there any requests?, i'll play them for a pennyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, and not a penny less, when there's frost upon the pumpkin, in the weakness of the sun, people stand there in the cold, until his symphony is done, in the early gray of morning, he's sure to come around, you can hear him thru the window, when the pennies hit the ground, choose to suit your fancy, are there any requests?, i'll play them for a pennyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, and not a penny less, they're playing penny music, playing penny music,
