The Folker |
| Well, my name is «Fingers Murphy» but my story’s seldom told |
| I massacre folk music with a yard of German plywood and a plectrum |
| I do requests-just the ones that have two chords in, And I disregard the rest |
| Na na nya na na na na na na nya etc. . |
| Well, I stand on stage the hero a martyr to me trade |
| And carry the reminders of all the gigs I’ve played in like the Irish Club-in |
| Luton |
| Where I fled in mortal fear-with the imprint of a Guinness bottle stamped |
| across my ear |
| Na na nya na na na na na na nya etc. . |
| Seeking twenty with expenses I went looking for a gig |
| Got no offers--just a come on from a groupie up in Neasden |
| I do declare--I was feeling rather randy so I had her then and there |
| Na na nya na na na na na na nya etc. . |
| Na na na-ya Na na na na na na na-ya |
| Na na na-ya Na na na na na na na-ya |
| Na na na-ya Na na na na na na na-ya |
| Well, I’ve sung the full tradition with my finger in my ear |
| Cause half the stuff I’m singin'-I just can’t bear to hear-it's a load of |
| cobblers |
| Bar after bar--to the rhythm of an out of tune Japanese guitar |
| Na na nya na na na na na na nya etc. . |
| Well, I met this great guitarist-I asked him for advice |
| But the message that he gave me--wasn't very nice or even civil |
| Stick it where--and if I did how could I tune it with it stuck way up there |
| Na na nya na na na na na na nya etc. . |
