Joni Mitchell - Real Good for Free Lyrics

I slept last night in a good hotel 
I went shopping today for jewels 
The wind rushed around in the dirty town 
And the children let out from the schools 
I was standing on a noisy corner 
Waiting for the walking green 
Across the street he stood 
And he played real good 
On his clarinet, for free. 

Now me I play for fortune 
And those velvet curtain calls 
I've got a black limousine 
And two gentlemen 
Escorting me to the halls 
And I play if you have the money 
Or if you're a friend to me 
But the one man band 
By the quick lunch stand 
He was playing real good, for free. 

Nobody stopped to hear him 
Though he played so sweet and high 
They knew he had never 
Been on their T.V. 
So they passed his music by 
I meant to go over and ask for a song 
Maybe put on a harmony... 
I heard his refrain 
As the signal changed 
He was playing real good, for free.
