Can anyone out there help with the lyrics of a great parody I remember Peggy Seeger and Ewan MacColl did years ago. It included lines like:- "What care I for my new Hi- Fi?" and "Oh bring to me my MG B". It was done to the usual tune and a lot of the words were the same as the normal version. I'm dying to sing it in our local Pub. Maggie

I knew it as Gone with the Hippies and the Hairies-o, but if you key in Beatniks in the Digital Tradition song search you should find it.
