04 Dec 99 - 10:25 AM (#144567) Subject: The Blackboard Singer (Parody) From: Shimbo Darktree THE BLACKBOARD SINGER (Words: Ian Clarke. Tune: Blackboard of my Heart) A young folk singer went down to a folk club Friday night, He wrote his name up on the board, and hoped he'd spelt it right, He'd practised his whole repertoire for three months and a day, And both the songs were perfect, 'cause he'd tried them every way.
And the MC rubbed his name off from the blackboard on the wall,
You've not been singing thirty years, like many of us here,
And the MC rubbed his name off from the blackboard on the wall, |

A young folk singer went down to a folk club Friday night,
And the MC rubbed his name off from the blackboard on the wall,
You've not been singing thirty years, like many of us here,
The young folk singer the next day went to his local bank,
And the MC rubbed his name off from the blackboard on the wall,
The moral of this little tune should be quite clear to all, |
