I'd Rather See A Minstrel Show

[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
