Oh the folk singer's bum - could I ever forget
the friendliest bottom that I've ever met?
Most folk's posteriors stay hidden from sight
But the folk singer's bum likes to come out at night.

Chorus.

Oh the folk singer's bum - it is round it is pink
Oh the folk singer's bum - if you aren't very careful
will give you a wink.

While trying to keep my eyes firmly ahead
I can feel my own cheeks (on my face) turning red
Can't hear what he's singing, oh why did I come,
hypnotised by the sight of his pink wobbly bum?

Chorus

Oh the folk singer's bum - It is pink it is round
Oh the folk singer's bum - is the friendliest bottom
that I've ever found.

I must be unlucky, whatever I do
I am always positioned to get a clear view
Of sheer liberality I have no lack
But I'm simply defeated by his yawning crack.

Chorus - whichever you choose

So if you're proportioned on generous lines
think about others and try to be kind
wear your blue denims pulled up to the waist
and you might be remembered for the smile on your face.

Chorus again.

This is a song to be sung to the tune of the Yettie's  - Fling it here Fling it there  Fling it here fling it there was written by S Lawrence

I wrote The folk Singer's Bum many years ago after a very difficult experience at the Llantrisant Folk Club, when I actually had the misfortune to be sitting behind the eponymous Folk Singer.  I think he must have been a builder in daily life.
