billy bob banana clip
who was revered
throughout the
fatherland
for ridin’ late at
night
with his merry old
band
he was
oh so sure
that’s what he hear’d
he was
oh so pure
but he flipped his lid
n dropped his fryin’ pan
n his bacon burned
on the day he learned
that as a little kid
at the orphanage
that his lineage
had truly been hid
oh heed this tale
of a knight
who’s plumb
fulla spite
cuz he’s
an angry white man
with a god-fearin’ tan
in the broad daylight
he can veil his hide
beneath that hood
but that ain’t gonna
do him any damn good
cuz he’s still
an angry white man
with a god-fearin’ tan
when billy bob’s
great uncle alice heard
his carbuncle’d ass
fired off a big turd
with pungent malice
though he consorted
with scalawags
notorious chiggers
n grave robbin’
ditch diggers
still he proclaimed
at least i weren’t no
fargin’ . . . . . .
go figure
why skin tone
trips the trigger
though we’re all just
flesh
n blood
n bone
nearly all of us are
producers
while a handful are
seducers
oh heed this tale
of a knight
who’s plumb
fulla spite
cuz he’s
an angry white man
with a god-fearin’ tan
in the broad daylight
he can veil his hide
beneath that hood
but that ain’t gonna
do him any damn good
cuz he’s still
an angry white man
with a god-fearin’ tan
there then was
that quickie strike
in town
ev’ry hamburger joint
was down
the number one demand
of all
the hired hands
was a big pay hike
n that was somethin’
that the bosses surely
didn’t like
n billy bob’s boy was
sittin’ with his
fellow workers on the
driveway curb
doin’ his very very
best to disturb
the company’s profit
but billy bob shouted
to junior get off it
but junior knew better
than his old man
‘bout how
to make ends meet
with a god-fearin’ tan
oh heed this tale
of a knight
who’s plumb
fulla spite
cuz he’s
an angry white man
with a god-fearin’ tan
in the broad daylight
he can veil his hide
beneath that hood
but that ain’t gonna
do him any damn good
cuz he’s still
an angry white man
with a god-fearin’ tan [2015]
