[00:00.00]The One On the Right Is On the Left - The Hit Crew
[00:06.92]There once was a musical troupe
[00:09.69]A pickin' singin' folk group
[00:12.11]They sang the mountain ballads
[00:14.33]And the folk songs of our land
[00:18.09]They were long on musical ability
[00:20.58]Folks thought they would go far
[00:22.94]But political incompatibility led to their downfall
[00:27.82]Well the one on the right was on the left
[00:30.55]And the one in the middle was on the right
[00:32.95]And the one on the left was in the middle
[00:35.38]And the guy in the rear was a Methodist
[00:46.97]This musical aggregation toured the entire nation
[00:51.92]Singing the traditional ballads
[00:54.20]And the folk songs of our land
[00:57.90]They with performed great virtuosity
[01:00.50]And soon they were the rage
[01:02.81]But political animosity prevailed upon the stage
[01:07.67]Well the one on the right was on the left
[01:10.45]And the one in the middle was on the right
[01:12.92]And the one on the left was in the middle
[01:15.27]And the guy in the rear burned his driver's license
[01:25.60]Well the curtain had ascended
[01:28.01]A hush fell on the crowd
[01:30.45]As thousands there were gathered
[01:32.85]To hear The folk songs of our land
[01:36.57]But they took their politics seriously
[01:39.09]And that night at the concert hall
[01:41.43]As the audience watched deliriously
[01:44.04]They had a free-for-all
[01:46.35]Well the one on the right was on the bottom
[01:48.96]And the one in the middle was on the top
[01:51.31]And the one on the left got a broken arm
[01:53.94]And the guy in the rear said Oh dear
[02:05.49]Now this should be a lesson
[02:07.92]If you plan to start a folk group
[02:10.70]Don't go mixin' politics with the folk songs of our land
[02:16.65]Just work on harmony and diction
[02:19.25]Play your banjo well
[02:21.39]And if you have political convictions
[02:24.42]Keep them to yourself
[02:26.39]Now the one on the left works in a bank
[02:28.85]And the one in the middle drives a truck
[02:31.04]The one on the right's an all-night deejay
[02:33.60]And the guy in the rear got drafted
