The Riposte

Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
ROM. VII. 33
Fr. Frigate
Naughty Sambo in cassock and lace,
Wipe that grin off your blackamoor face,
. Make your profession of faith at my knee.
Sambo
Jesu God, He lub-a-dub me.
Fr. Frigate
Join your fingers; how do you know
Lord Jesus loves you, wicked Sambo?
Sambo
Jesu God, He die for my sake
But lub me still in de Little White Cake.
Fr. Frigate
Won't the dear Lord love blackamoors less
Who wriggle their hips during Holy Mass?
Sumbo
Wriggling my hips make de Little Cake glad.
If He lub me good, He adore me bad.
