How Many Folkies Does It Take To Change A Lightbulb? by Amos
(Tune: Blowin' In The Wind)

Tell me how many folkies need to change a light bulb
Before the light bulb stays changed?
An' how many Mudcats need to add to the list
Before they get home on the range?
And how many answers does one man have to see
Before he can see that they're strange?

The answer, old bloke,
Is just a Mudcat joke!
The answer is just a Mudcat joke.

Yes, an' how many threads must a man run down
Before the Kat makes him grin
AN' how many Possum whistles must ol' SPaw sell
Before possum whistles get him?
An' how many times mus' Mbo be pronounced
Before it begins to sink in?

The answer, old bloke
Is jes' a Mudcat joke!
The answer is just a Mudcat joke!

(Rasp, rasp wheeze wheeze, raw raw)
Kaching kaching G Am Bm D ad infinitum
