Thread Name: Lyr Req: Villikins & his Dinah: songs using tune
Subject: RE: Villikins & his Dinah: songs using tune
I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere that Nina Simone did a great comedy song about the NAACP to this tune...
All I can remember is:
Oh daughter, dear daughter, take warning from me
And don't you go march with the NAACP
For they'll rock you and roll you and get you into bed
And [something something] you'll wish you were dead
Singing too ral eye too ral eye too ral eye ay heee
And then there was something about the daughter being warned to carry a brick should any young man from the NAACP approach her...
...But before she had time to remember her brick
They were staging a sit-down on a nearby hay rick
Singing too ral eye etc.
Just thought i'd mention it!
