Two girls for every boy
I got a Hohner harmonica and a Vox 12 string

You know there's lots of protest songs that I wanna sing

About where it's at and where it was

Yeah I'm goin' Folk City cause I got to unwind
You know I'm goin' to Folk City, got to blow my mind
You know I'm goin' to Folk City cause I got to unwind
Yeah goin' to Folk City got to blow my mind
Two Girls for every boy'

I am getting bugged with this feeling of being uptight
Folk City here we come
I'm gunna find me a chick who does everything right
Folk City here we come
So take a trip with me and we will be all alone
In the jingle jangle morning like a Rolling Stone

And I'm goin' Folk City cause I got to unwind
You know I'm goin' to Folk City, got to blow my mind
You know I'm goin' to Folk City cause I got to unwind
You know I'm goin' to Folk City got to blow my mind
Two girls for every boy

So go away from my window come round to my door
Folk City here we come
Cause if you wanna be in that's what it's for
Folk City here we come
To be a little more than friends is all I want to do
And say I would be me and, and why when were through

And I'm goin' Folk City cause I got to unwind
You know I'm goin' to Folk City, got to blow my mind
You know I'm goin' to Folk City cause I got to unwind
You know I'm goin' to Folk City got to blow my mind
Two girls for every boy
