Quote of the Month

1.26headshot

Some folk work,
‘Til they go berserk,
For to get their shoes and rice.
Some folk git it by rollin’ cotton
And some folk git it just by rollin’ dice.
 
Some folk work
With the hoe and rake.
Oh they dig dig dig for their dinner.
Some folk git it by pickin’ ‘taters
And some folk git it just by pickin’ winner.
 
Lyric excerpt: “Some Folk Work”
words by Yip Harburg, music by Harold Arlen
written for the film Cabin in the Sky (1943), but unused
