[00:00.00]One On The Right Is On The Left - Mike Berry
[00:08.55]There once was a musical troupe
[00:11.03]A picking singing folk group
[00:13.43]They sang the mountain ballads
[00:15.74]And the folk songs of our land
[00:19.56]They were long on musical ability
[00:21.75]Folks thought they would go far
[00:24.26]But political incompatibility led to their downfall
[00:29.28]Well the one on the right was on the left
[00:31.51]And the one in the middle was on the right
[00:33.88]And the one on the left was in the middle
[00:36.42]And the guy in the rear
[00:39.08]Was a methodist
[00:48.05]This musical aggregation toured the entire nation
[00:52.74]Singing the traditional ballads
[00:55.21]And the folk songs of our land
[00:59.07]They performed with great virtuosity
[01:01.57]And soon they were the rage
[01:03.84]But political animosity prevailed upon the stage
[01:08.75]Well the one on the right was on the left
[01:11.17]And the one in the middle was on the right
[01:13.54]And the one on the left was in the middle
[01:16.03]And the guy in the rear
[01:18.82]Burned his driver's license
[01:26.48]Well the curtain had ascended
[01:28.93]A hush fell on the crowd
[01:31.43]As thousands there were gathered to hear
[01:33.96]The folk songs of our land
[01:37.58]But they took their politics seriously
[01:39.92]And that night at the concert hall
[01:42.44]As the audience watched deliriously
[01:44.79]They had a free for all
[01:47.18]Well the one on the right was on the bottom
[01:49.61]And the one in the middle was on the top
[01:52.04]And the one on the left got a broken arm
[01:54.45]And the guy in the rear
[01:57.08]Said oh dear
[02:06.31]Now this should be a lesson
[02:08.61]If you plan to start a folk group
[02:11.49]Don't go mixing politics with the folk songs of our land
[02:17.46]Just work on harmony and diction
[02:19.97]Play your banjo well
[02:22.07]And if you have political convictions
[02:24.91]Keep them yourself
[02:27.20]Now the one on the left works in a bank
[02:29.43]And the one in the middle drives a truck
[02:32.29]The one on the right's an all night deejay
[02:34.23]And the guy in the rear
[02:37.00]Got drafted
