Irving Berlin – I'd Rather See A Minstrel Show lyrics
Album: Cheek To Cheek: Irving Berlin Songbook
[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
