F#m Catch a taxi to the fountainhead C#sus4/g# Blinking neon penny arcade A A young caruso on the fire escape Bm bm/c# d d/e Painted face ladies on parade F#m The newsboy on the corner C#sus4/g# Singing out headlines A And a fiddler selling pencils Bm bm/c# d The sign reads: help the blind

Trolley car rings out the morning Whistle blows at noon A cat fight breaks open the night While watch dogs bay at the moon A preacher on an orange crate With a salvation army band And clicking along the cobbled stones That's the sound of the ice-cream man
Comin' up the lane callin' Workin' while the rain's fallin' Ragman, your song of the street Keeps haunting my memory Music in the air I hear it ev'rywhere Rags, bones and old city songs Hear them, how they talk to me
The organ grinder and his monkey Still walkin' the same old beat The shoe-shine boy slappin' leather He puts the rhythm in your feet Strollin' by the churchyard List'nin' to the sunday choir With voices rising to the heavens Like sirens screaming to a fire
Comin' up to the lane callin' Workin' while the rain's fallin' Ragman, your song of the street Keeps haunting my memory Music in the air I hear it ev'rywhere Rags, bones and old city songs Play them one more time for me
