Lyrics:

Even though his times are hard You can hardly see it on his face Because of the smile People coming in from miles away To hear him sing and see him play So he can' t disappoint them now The room is full of smoke But he can see them dancing And he can see them crying It doesn' t bother him at all 'Cause he knows it' s only tears of joy Chorus: Let the band play on There' s a girl sitting by the corner there And she looks at him with her big brown eyes He smiles back and carries on playing It doesn' t bother him at all Somehow, it gives him some comfort Police came in halfway through the night With the good news Neighbours are complaining 'Cause the music is so low low low low So turn it up, now Chorus: Let the band play on
