Put your ear to the ground, there's a buzz
about a new type of song
They call it folk, and what it does
is make you want to sing along
We can try our hand at Kumbaya
Michael Row the Boat Ashore
You don't even have to burn your bra
to fit in with this décor
‘cause folk is the new black

Cheaper than crack, and you don't have to cook
Download it and see
The first time is free, then you'll be hooked
You can be politically correct
You don't even have to risk your neck
Better than crack - folk is the new black

All the ladies on fifth avenue
are wearing dungarees
You can tell which ones are new
‘cause they're starched and creased
“Folk is for Fun” say the ads
Pete Seeger's is the voice we'll use
even though he's just a fad

cause folk is the new black
Cheaper than crack, and you don't have to cook
Download it and see
The first time is free, then you'll be hooked

All your friends will think you have real talent
when you've memorized all of Barbara Allen
Better than crack - folk is the new black

Folk is the new black
Cheaper than crack and you don't have to cook
Download it and see
First time is free, then you'll be hooked
We'll be singing hootenanny songs
long after rock and roll is gone
Better than crack - folk is the new black
