There once was a musical troupeA pickin' singin' folk groupThey sang the mountain balladsAnd the folk songs of our landThey were long on musical abilityFolks thought they would go farBut political incompatibility led to their downfallWell, the one on the right was on the leftAnd the one in the middle was on the rightAnd the one on the left was in the middleAnd the guy in the rear was a MethodistThis musical aggregation toured the entire nationSinging the traditional balladsAnd the folk songs of our landThey performed with great virtuosityAnd soon they were the rageBut political animosity prevailed upon the stageWell, the one on the right was on the leftAnd the one in the middle was on the rightAnd the one on the left was in the middleAnd the guy in the rear burned his driver's licenseWell the curtain had ascendedA hush fell on the crowdAs thousands there were gathered to hear The folk songs of our landBut they took their politics seriouslyAnd that night at the concert hallAs the audience watched deliriouslyThey had a free-for-allWell, the one on the right was on the bottomAnd the one in the middle was on the topAnd the one on the left got a broken armAnd the guy in the rear, said, "Oh dear"Now this should be a lesson if you plan to start a folk groupDon't go mixin' politics with the folk songs of our landJust work on harmony and dictionPlay your banjo wellAnd if you have political convictions keep them to yourselfNow, the one on the left works in a bankAnd the one in the middle drives a truckThe one on the right's an all-night deejayAnd the guy in the rear got drafted
