Me An' My Boss
Music by: Jerome Kern
Lyrics by: Oscar Hammerstein II
Jes' look at me an' my boss,
Jes' look at me an' my boss!
We's both de same~
We ain't no diff'rent.
I go wherever he goes.
(Dey make me ride in "Jim Crows"~
Excep' for dat
We's both de same.)
Roast beef's his favorite dish,
I likes my taters an' fish~
Excep' for dat
We ain't no diff'rent.
We both git born,
We both grow old an' die,
Him an' I,
Me an' my boss.
