MERRIE MELODY

A few of us discussed songs originating in interpretations of African Americans that were later dropped. When Bugs sang "My goil is a first class stepper", he was doing a modernized version of:

"My gal is a high born lady
She's black but not too shady
Feathered like a peacock, just as gay,
She is not colored, she was born that way,
I'm proud of my black Venus,
No coon can come between us
'Long the line they can't out shine this high born gal of mine."
