Walter Lee Younger, who's supposed to be the man of the family,
blames everything on Mr. Whitey.
And the mother says to him, Oh, stop.
Eddie Rochester Anderson, whom we all know from the Jack Benny Show.
I got my shirt from a silver lining.
I got my cane from an old oak tree.
And that is just the reason why the folks all nickname me just because my hair's curly and because my teeth are pearly and just because
I always wear a smile and suits to dress up in the latest style.
Gee, I'm glad I'm living.
Why, I take troubles all with a smile.
Just because my colors change a wee bit different, baby.
That's why they call me John.
Now, Terry Gross, this is why among radio journalists, you are the goddess.
Oh, thank you.
Because that song, Shine, which is a race song, was my audition song when I came to New York.
It's how I got The Wiz.
It's how I got Ain't Misbehavin'.
