[Intro] “Come one, come all, I’ve got rhythm for sale, Just toss a penny, and I’ll spin you a tale.” [Verse 1] People pass by, in pearls and lace, Lost in their dreams, caught in the race. But I got my trumpet, a beat in my hand, A dollar for dreams, or just what they can. [Chorus] Penny for your rhythm, hear my tune, Bring me your blues ‘neath the city moon. Play you a beat that knows no fear, For every little coin, I’ll lend you an ear. [Verse 2] See, there’s Sally Mae, with a dime to spare, Drops it in my case, with a wish and a prayer. The banker frowns, but the singer grins, ‘Cause when pennies drop, the rhythm begins. [Chorus] Penny for your rhythm, feel that swing, In a world gone mad, I’ll make you sing. I’ve got beats for the lost, and tunes for the found, From every little coin, comes a brand-new sound. [Bridge] They don’t see my name in lights, But in this corner, I’m playin' it right. Jazz in my bones, hope in my soul, From pennies and dreams, I’ll make you whole. [Verse 3] So play that tune, let the sidewalk hum, With every little step, the rhythm comes. Coins may clink, and heels may tap, For a street jazz man, this is where it’s at. [Chorus] Penny for your rhythm, toss it here, I’ll play you a tune to shake your fear. From dawn to dusk, in rain or shine, The rhythm is yours, the melody’s mine. [Outro] “So toss a coin, or tip your hat, I’ll play you the world, in a beat like that.”
