Otis Mace Guitar Ace

When he plays he never seems to draw much of a crowd
And when he ends a song the applause is never very loud
And yes it's true, he is past the first flush of youth
But he knows just what to do with three chords and the truth

Otis Mace Guitar Ace
More than just a pretty face
Guitar, drums and a double bass
Ladies and gentlemen, Otis Mace

Now sometimes he goes busking on the underground
People on the escalator wonder 'What's that sound?'
Then they come around the corner to see Otis in full flight
But he has to finish early because he's got a show tonight

Otis Mace Guitar Ace
Toss a coin into the case
To bring a smile to his face
Please go wild for Otis Mace

Tonight Otis comes on third
But in order to be heard
He has to rise above the chatter
But those who stop to notice
They realise that Otis
He sings about the things that really matter
(The burning issues of today)

Otis doesn't care about the vagaries of fashion
And he won't jump on a band wagon just to try to cash in
In a world of plastic clones he's a man of flesh and bones
He may look like Buddy Holly but he thinks he's The Ramones

Otis Mace Guitar Ace
More than just a pretty face
Guitar drums and a double bass

Otis Mace Guitar Ace
Toss a coin into the case
To bring a smile to his face
Please go wild (Otis Mace)

Otis Mace Guitar Ace
More than just a pretty face
Guitar, drums and a double bass

Otis Mace, no disgrace
Just came down from outer space
To bring a smile to your face
Ladies and gentlemen (Otis Mace)
Please go wild (Otis Mace)
For the one and only Otis Mace
