"Six String Orchestra" is a song written, composed, and performed by Harry Chapin and released on his 1974 album Verities & Balderdash.
The music consists of a combination of songs written for the musical and songs from Chapin's previous albums, the latter including "Cat's in the Cradle", Chapin's best-known song, as well as "What Made America Famous?", a song about a plumber who rescues a group of hippies from a fire, that includes the lyric that gave the musical its title.
