_ Thanks.
Thanks for coming. _ _
Well, I'm gonna start off with a talking blues song, and, uh_
I didn't know I was gonna do one about, uh_
Thunderbird Wine.
_ [B] _
And, uh_
[E] I started thinking, and, [Abm] uh_
I changed my mind.
I'm gonna do one about the KKK.
_ [E] _ _ Because, uh_
I figure they're more bigots here than winos.
_ _ No, I was just kidding.
_ _ Some of my best friends are.
Well, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I was born in Mississippi on a fine spring day.
I quit [B] second grade, joined the KKK.
[E] Recruiter said, sorry, man, there ain't no way you got too damn [B] much education.
[E] _ _ _ _
I said, please, sir, please, you gotta take me,
because I believe in the Bible and democracy, [B] and_
I believe all real [E] Americans ought to be free,
and I believe in Jesus and the great salvation.
_ _ He said, I [A] don't know, kid.
I _
[B] said, I make a pretty good [E] Molotov cocktail, too, and he said, you're in. _
_ [Ab] Well, it's [Abm] not all the blacks we got to worry about.
It's the poor white trash.
_ _ [B] Jacqueline [E] Kennedy and _ [B] John Lindsay.
_ _ _ [E] _ _
Well, they gave me a hood that looked real neat.
[A] Gave me a big old long white [B] sheet that hit the floor and [Abm] tucked under my feet.
They [E] said that's who wouldn't leave no toe prints.
_ Said, man, I never did realize that [A] anything could be so secretized.
[B] He said, [Abm] yes, our breath won't be recognized at the meetings we burn [E] incense.
_ I said, crap, man, [A] that's kind of extreme.
_ _ [B] He just grinned and thanked me.
[E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _
Well, I had a bad day when I first [Gb] started off.
I had a miserable failure on my first [B] Molotov.
Didn't explode, and all the fellas scoffed.
Threw it [E] in the church, just fizzed.
_ Out comes this boy, he hits me with a right, then he gives me a [A] left with all his might.
I said, hang on a minute, man, you're not supposed to fight.
My eyes [Em] turned as black [B] as his.
_ _ Damn bully's what he was. _
_ Damn [E] barbarian.
_ _ [Abm] _ _
_ [E] _ Well, now, don't ask me how [A] I got to where I am, [B] walking in the office of the head Klan man.
[E] Mr.
Shelton Bat got [A] killed in Birmingham, [B] but he's invincible pretty near.
_ _ _ _ [E] I got so important, it's kind of hard to say.
[Am] I guess my award kind [B] of paved the way.
It's an award you don't get just every day.
They made me bigot [E] of the year. _ _
Of course, [A] I don't like to brag about it, none.
[B] _ It's all in a [E] day's prejudice.
_ _ [Abm] _ _ _ [E] _
