Songs:I'm Changing My Name To DOT.COM (108455)

Lyrics

Oh, the folk venues are struggling for a crowd
The promoters, they are whining long and loud
We need to find the masses; Fill our seats up with their asses
A packed house would really do us proud

Folk music is gonna take it on the chin
If we don’t find a new place to begin
We need a bold new venue; To put us on the menu
To help the folkies rise about the din

Chorus:
I'm changing my name to "DOT COM"
Gonna take my feeble folk career on-line
Gonna tell a java guru; That I'm in the deepest doo-doo
So put up the virtual welcome sign

I'm changing my name to "DOT COM"
I'm leaving the tired concert halls behind
'Cause I've been in hibernation; Now I'll join the cyber-nation
Yes sir, I'm on line

Way back when they made the first PC
I knew this was gonna be the place for me
I'm no longer just a doormat; 'Cause I'm in MP3 format
And my songs can be downloaded now for free

But the internet can be a trifle slow
And I always need a bit more space to grow
If I had another giga; What was big could still be bigga
All I need is some megabytes of dough

Chorus

On the web things can still be had for free
Or perhaps you pay a little access fee
But the judge has taken napster; And thrown it in the dumpster
So the CD biz can have a selling spree

A folkie just can't earn a living wage
Not in this hyper-nano-pixelated age
But don't think that I'm dejected; 'Cause I'm totally web-connected
And the e-world will be my virtual stage

Chorus
