LEFT-WING NEGRO'S SONG

All the leftists go wild over me
Fromn the ADA clear over to CP
I'll get everything I like
If I'll vote or join their strike
They go wild, simply wild, over me.

The philanthropists go wild over me
And give their money to the NAACP
And the money that they've given
Comes from rents on slums I live in
They go wild, simply wild, over me.

Jew girls from Brooklyn go wild over me
And they hold my arm where everyone can see.
They paint their faces jut like whores
Make me leave them at their doors
They go wild, simply wild, over me.

They go wild, simply wild, over me.
I'm referring to the northern bourgeoisie
They wish my southern brothers good
And kick me out of their neighborhood
They go wild, simply wild, over me.

Intellectuals go wild over me
And write me up as sociology.
They write books that no one reads
Give advice that no one heeds,
They go wild, simply wild, over me.

Other Negroes go wild, just like me
As we passionately strive for liberty
They care not for civil rights
They just wish that they were whites
They go wild, simply wild, over me.

From the Bosses Song Book, ca 1959
