Whitey on the Moon
We have a poem here
It's called "Whitey on the Moon"
And, uh, it was inspired, it was inspired
By some whiteys on the moon
So I wanna give credit where credit is due
A rat done bit my sister Nell
With whitey on the moon
Her face and arms began to swell
And whitey's on the moon
I can't pay no doctor bills
But whitey's on the moon
Ten years from now, I'll be paying still
While whitey's on the moon
You know, the man just upped my rent last night
'Cause whitey's on the moon
No hot water, no toilets, no lights
But whitey's on the moon
I wonder why he's uppin' me
'Cause whitey's on the moon?
Well I was already given him fifty a week
And now whitey's on the moon
Taxes takin' my whole damn check
The junkies make me a nervous wreck
The price of food is goin' up
And as if all that crap wasn't enough
A rat done bit my sister Nell
With whitey on the moon
Her face and arms began to swell
And whitey's on the moon
With all that money I made last year
For whitey on the moon
How come I ain't got no money here
Hmm, whitey's on the moon
You know I just about had my fill
Of whitey on the moon
I think I'll send these doctor bills
Airmail special (to whitey on the moon)
To whitey on the moon
Thank you
