Folk Is the New Black

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

We'll be starting our campaign real soon

"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
