Sung to the tune of the “Good Times” theme song:
The Youngers!
Will be getting a big payment
The Youngers!
From an insurance policy
The Youngers!
Walter Sr. passed some years ago
Now they’ll get out of the ghetto with the money he left them
Mama takes some of the money and goes out and buys them a house
But Brother buys a liquor store—Mistake!
The money then gets ripped off—Heartbreak!
A white man doesn’t want them buyin’ ---No Doubt!
In an all white neighborhood—Stay Out!
Will they stay in or move out of the ghetto? --- Youngers!
A postwar “Good Times”, with few good times, but plenty of hardy hope.
