To Be Like Dick Gregory


Dick Gregory is a hero of mine, he thwarted such opposition with such ease!

Dick Gregory went to a resteraunt
Andwas told black people were not served
Thats all right, I dont eat them
He replied, and was not unnevered

And then three white boys to him came
And said they'd do to him, and would not miss
Whatever he done to the chicken,
So he proptly told the boys to line up, and his chicken he did kiss.

Oh, to be like Dick Gregory
Meet your enemy... look him in the eye
Defeat him without fighting
Maybe we could if we did try
!
