Homage

Shake that banana skirt for the sophisticated men, Josi
And shake it fast.
The men and women of Paris have paid good money
To see you bring back the minstrel.
They've thrown in ample tip
To see that ample black ass.
You look lovely in your pencil brows and
Your kohl eye paint. Your powdered legs.
Your sparkled pasties. Your conquered pussy.
Little girls, now, aspire to be you, Ms. Baker; the
Charleston dancing jiggaboo-pickaninny.
We're embarrassed by you and we want a piece of you.
Shake that banana skirt, Josi.
And shake it fast.
