Subject: RE: Singing a song in first person- racial issue
For clarification, here are the lines from the calypso in question:
"You can see that I am a fellow with a funny face,
And the baby don't belong to the Negro race."

That said, I believe Dave in Michigan's suggestion of adjusting the lyrics to fit myself is the best one on the list. But the problem is how to think of lyrics that scan and rhyme?
