More answers to "How many folksingers does it take to change a lightbulb?"

[mcroft]

It occurs to me that this is only one of a vast number of possible answers. In my darker moments, it occurs to me that someone could probably get a singable song out of this, for certain values of "singable"

Two:

The ceiling is hiiiiigh, And I cannot reach up to't.
Nor have I a stool to climb for thee.
Give me a ladder and steady it true
We'll change your bulb, my love and me.

Five:

One two three four five,
Grasp the bulb and turn her round the socket go
all the boys a' turnin, Whack fol la de dah!

None:

"Vile Darkness!"  cried the warrior bard,
"Tho' all the world curses at thee,
A single candle I shall light
'Fight, fight and go not gentle-ly!'"

I'm sure much better verses can be written, but I think I've made my fundamental opinion of "the great all-Irish-song-chorus-mashup" clear... :)

Three lasses:

The first one tried but could not reach.
The second one could and plucked it like a peach.
The third had the new one put right in,
And they played them a merry game of Risk-O.

This stuff just writes itself.
