Generic Up-Tempo Folk Song - The Limeliters

This is our uptempo folk song

The one we use to start the show!

Our up-tempo folk song

The kind every folk singer ought to know!

The kind that sets your toes a tapping and makes you want to sing along

It’s the one we stole from the Kingston Trio

Generic up tempo folk song!

This is the middle of our up temo folk song

It’s called the second verse

You gotta sing it warm and tender

To make it sound different from the first

This is when we look at all the people

Just to see who is around

And if we sing the second verse softly

The crowed usually quiets down

This is the bridge and it’s really exciting

It was a different plan

The purpose of the bridge is to get from the middle

To the begining of the end!

This is our up tempo folk song

The end is drawing near

And by now you’re so gosh-darn excited

You want to stand right up and cheer!

So lets say «hurray» for our folk survivors

May they sing forever strong!

And for the land of the brave and free

Generic up tempo folk song!

(hit it, Bill)

So lets say «hurray» for our folk survivors

May they sing forever strong

May they shed a tear

Each time they hear

Generic up tempo folk song!
