Darkies:

Im the savage in the jungle
and the busboy in the town.
Im the one who jumps the highest
when the Boss man comes around.

Im the maid who wields the wooden broom.
Im the black boot polish cheeks.
Im the big fat Lawdy Mama
who always laughs before she speaks.

Im the plaintive sound of spirituals
on the mighty Mississip.
Im the porter in the club car
touching forelock for a tip.

Im the bent, white-whiskered ol Black Joe
with the stick and staggered walk.
Im the barefoot boy in dungarees
with a stammer in my talk.

Im the storytelling Mr. Bones
with a jangling tambourine.
Im the Norths excuse for novelty
and the Souths deleted scene.

Im the one who takes his lunch break
with the extras and the grips.
Im the funny liquorice coils of hair...
