1. Oh! I’ve seen, in my time, some very funny folks
But the funniest of all I know
Is a colored individual as sure as you’re alive
As black as any black crow
You can talk until you’re tired, but you’ll never get a word
From this very funny, queer old coon
He’s a knock-kneed, double-jointed, hunkey-plunky moke
And he’s happy when he whistles this tune<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Oh! he’s got a pair of lips like a pound of liver, split
And a nose like an injun-rubber shoe
He’s a limpy, happy, chuckle-headed, huckleberry nig
And he whistles like a happy “killy loo”
He’s an independent, free-and-easy, fat and greasy ham
With a cranium like a big baboon
Oh! I never heard him talk to anybody in my life
But he’s happy when he whistles this tune<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Oh! he’d whistle in the morning, through the day and through the night
And he’d whistle, like the devil, going to bed
Oh! he whistles like a locomotive engine in his sleep
And he whistles when his wife was dead
One day a fellow hit him with a brick upon the mouth
And his jaw swelled up like a balloon
Now he, shaking, goes along like a monkey in a fit
And this is how he whistles that tune<\/p>\n\n\n\n
