Eric Andersen
This Greenwich Village folkie
from the days of old Phil Oakey
(Not the Human Leaguer
I only said that cos it rhymed)
I meant Phil Ochs: enough of my jokes
This Greenwich Village folkie
With a voice so high and smoky
And his dawn violets and his thirsty boots
So ripe for low-key karaoke
Time runs like a freight
Train and I count him as a great
Which I why I spell his last name correctly with an E
(unlike Bob Dylan's record company)
like Hans Christian, it's:
Eric Andersen
