         F#
Catch a taxi to the fountainhead
          G#
Blinking neon penny arcade
           A
A young Caruso on the fire escape
 Bm                        E
Painted faced ladies on parade

The newsboy on the corner
Singing out headlines
And a fiddler selling pencils
The sign reads "help the blind"

Chorus:
F#m
Comin' up the lane callin'
Bm                F#m
Workin' while the rain's fallin'
D                            B  
Ragman, your song of the street
D                  E
Keeps haunting my memory

Music in the air
I hear it ev'rywhere
Rags, bones and old city songs
Hear them, how they talk to me
Trolley car rings out the morning

Whistle blows at noon
A cat fight breaks open the night
While the watch dogs bay at the moon

A preacher on an orange crate
With a Salvation Army Band
And clicking along the cobbled stones
That's the sound of the ice-cream man

Chorus:
Comin' up the lane callin'
Workin' while the rain's fallin'
Ragman, your song of the street
Keeps haunting my memory

Music in the air
I hear it ev'rywhere
Rags, bones and old city songs
Hear them, how they talk to me

The organ grinder and his monkey
Still walkin' the same old beat
The shoe-shine boy slappin' leather
He puts the rhythm in your feet

Strollin' by the churchyard
List'nin' to the Sunday choir
With voices rising to the heavens
Like sirens screaming to a fire

Chorus:
Comin' up to the lane callin'
Workin' while the rain's fallin'
Ragman, your song of the street
Keeps haunting my memory

Music in the air
I hear it ev'rywhere
Rags, bones and old city songs
Play them one more time for me
