Midnight in the village

Seeger lights the candles

From bitter end to gaslight

Baez leaves the stage

Ochs takes notes

When the black girl and guitar

Burn together hot in rage

You've got what it takes

You say too much

You will set the world babe

You will set the world on fire

I can work the scene babe

I can see the magazines

L can hear the nation

I can hear the nation cry

You will set the world babe

You will set the world on fire

You will set it on fire

Kennedy would kill

For the lines that you've written

Van ronk says to bobby

She's the next real thing

Crouched in the half light

Screaming like a banshee

You're in the boat, babe

We're in the water

You say too much

You will set the world babe

You will set the world on fire

I can work the scene babe

I can see the magazines

L can hear the nation

I can hear the nation cry

You will set the world babe

You will set the world on fire

You will set it on fire
