Cquote1

I had my face enameled, I had my hair made straight.

I dressed up like a white man, and cert'nly did look great.

Then started out to see her, just shortly after dark,

But on the way to meet my babe I had to cross a park;

Just as I was a-thinking I had things fixed up right,

I passed a tree where two doves sat making love at night;

They stopped and looked me over, I saw my finish soon.

When both those birds said good and loud,

"Coo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oon."
—1901 hit song "Coon! Coon! Coon!" by Gene Jefferson and Leo Friedman
