FOLK

Black folk are for black folk,
white folk are for white;
The problem is the black folk,
think the white folk are right.
And the white folk think the same
as the black folk do;
So everyone is happy
unless you’re coloured blue.
Then, as the common enemy,
sweet unity is assured,
And the problem of the races
is miraculously cured;
for we can then pull faces
at the blue folk when we’re bored.
