A one room flat in a one way street
And my love is not around
A one hour ride for a one song shot
I am Midtown band
A one dollar beer take on slow sip
My guitar is nowhere to be found
One tiny stage these cats look hip
My ship has run aground
Step up said the doctor where are you from
And what's that toy in your hand
Jean Baptiste that doesn't swing
We need to find your name
But the floor is yours now
Pick a tune
No need to be ashamed
So I took my harp and I closed my eyes
Said I'm the Marollian man
Soon my darling
Soon I swear
I'll get a break
I've got a plan
Soon my darling
Soon I swear
I'll get a break
I've got a plan
Cause I'm the Marollian man
Working for Sabena down on Fifth
Booking tickets nine to five
But cats like me don't take the plane
We sail the Holland line
I saw Bird at the Onyx and Diz at the Deuces
These cats can really fly
But someday baby they'll let me in
I'll send shivers down their spine
They say lovers have the sun in their hearts
We'll I've got nothing else
I'll sing of cherries I'll sing of spring
At the Marquee hotel
I've tried Jim and Andy's, Charlie's and and Julie's
That went pretty well
But this is the Hickory
This is the place
It's time for show and tell 
Soon my darling
Soon I swear
I'll get a break
I've got a plan
Soon my darling
Soon I swear
I'll get a break
I've got a plan
Cause I'm the Marollian man
Soon my darling
Soon I swear
I'll get a break
I've got a plan
Soon my darling
Soon I swear
I'll get a break
I've got a plan
Cause I'm the Marollian man
I'm the Marollian man
