[Verse:]
|
I never cared about the drama
|
The drama always got my "hammer"
|
I came from sunny Alabama
|
Home of the Minstrel show
|
I think revues are always "bloomers"
|
They all depend upon costumers
|
You can have the plays
|
That are all the craze
|
At two dollars a throw
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
I'd rather see a minstrel show
|
Than any other show I know
|
|
Oh! those comical folks
|
With their riddles and jokes
|
|
Here is the riddle that I love the best
|
"Why does a chicken go...?" You know the rest
|
|
I'd pawn my overcoat and vest
|
To see a minstrel show
|
