Hi!
I regard this song as a social comment.
Not as a way of making fun of street musicians.
(Or mental illness).
(I have a feeling the chorus is not so original).

Just include a reference so others can find the original song.
Lyrics /w chords:
[G]Armed with a banjo [Em]or a pawn shop guitar.
He [D]looks like he's homeless but he [C]doesn't sleep in a car.
Today he's rich an famous 'cause he has forgotten to take his pills.
His mother gave him a jacket, that was nice coz the cold wind chills.
If I could [G]believe you, I'd believe in [Em]love.
I'd believe a [C]stranger could raise me [G]up.
He ain't here for the money or a tear in your eye.
He's just guarding his spot from the seagulls in the sky.
So don't give him your sorrow or your hard earned sympathy.
Just let him do his shit. Let the poor busker be.
