lyrics

I get stoned in the autumn and drunk in the spring
Hibernate in winter, I don’t do a thing
And when it comes summer I’m nowhere to be found
Buskin’ up the money to make the next town

So if I hurt your ear
You’ll get no apology here
Come on in this place, drop some money in the case
Or I’ll just play the accordion

I don’t play for money, I play it for fun
If you throw me some coins it won’t hurt anyone
Someone will cry when you cut up an onion
But the whole world screams
When you play the accordion

So if I hurt your ear
You’ll get no apology here
Come on in this place, drop some money in the case
Or I’ll just play the accordion

I know I sound like a broken merry-go-round
Like an old hobby horse, squeakin’ up, squeakin’ down
It seems that I’m stuck in three quarter time
But all I can do is to keep on trying

So if I hurt your ear
You’ll get no apology here
Come on in this place, drop some money in the case
Or I’ll just play the accordion
