NOTES [50 words]: This is one of a section of "rhymes" in this part of Johnson's article; it is not listed as a song. The other "rhymes" seem unlikely to have been songs, but this one feels like it is. Despite its racist tone, I've included it on that basis. It might even be fun if the racist elements were removed. - RBW
