Within months of the Original hitting the scene , there was a parody in a UK Folk Magazine "The Songs They Are A Changing" Atrribute to one Robert Zinnerman as I recall , having a friendly poke at the Folk Scene ! I know I was singing the Parody in Early '65 , as some friends of mine in Weston Super Mare added a last verse

Come gather round children where ever you roam
And admit that the profits around you have grown
And accept that the money they want is your own
If your pennies to you are worth saving
Then you'd better start listening before your ears turn to stone
For The Songs They Are A Changing

Come singers and writers who profiteer with the pen
You'd better write Folk Songs , the chance wont come again
And when we say Folk Songs , you know what we mean
Just two chords and a message that's amazing
Then make sure that its plugged by Publicity Men
For The Songs they Ara A Changing

All Public Relations Men , please heed the call
For the Image you build , must be on the ball
You'll have money to burn or to paper your walls
For those royalties have to be paid in
And it doesnt much matter if you cant sing at all
For The Songs They Are A Changing

Come traditional singers throughout the land
And dont criticise what you cant understand
Associated Redefusion is beyond your command
And the Ols Order goes on unchanging
All you need is a capo and a Harmonica stand
For The Songs They Are A Changing

Now the line it is drawn and the contract is cast
You can see that the gimmicks are nailed to the mast
For the time of the singer is pretty well passed
Its an image they all are a-craving
If you're joining the Rat Race you'd better run fast
For The Songs They Are A Changing

And the Added verse , written mostly in The Swahili coffee bar and the London Inn was

Now Dylan is out , and Donovan is in
And the death of Folk Music's about to begin
Its the New Christie Minstrel's records we spin
And poor Ewan is on the street busking
We dont say that it's Pseudo , but it seems to fit in
For The Songs They Are a Changing .
