Oh the white folks, hate the black folks,
and the black folks, hate the white folks.
To hate all but the right folks,
is an old established rule...
The rich folks hate the poor folks
the poor folks hate the rich folks-
all of my folks hate all of your folks...
etc.
But during National Brotherhood Week
Lena Horne and Sheriff Clark are dancing cheek to cheek-
It's fun to eulogize, the people you despise-
as long as you don't let 'em in your school.
or:
First we got the bomb and that was good
cause we love peace and motherhood-
Then Russia got the bomb but that's okay
cause the balance of power's maintained that way-
Then China got the bomb but have no fears-
they can't wipe us out for at least five years..
who's next?
and my previously (The Boy Scouts Marching Song) mentioned favorite:
If you're looking for adventure of a new and different kind-
and chance to meet a Girl Scout who is similarly inclined...
dont be nervous- don't be flustered- don't be scared...
Be Prepared!
Then there was the "Vatican Rag".
