Howdy, y’all! My name’s Chet.
You probably don’t know me.
That's okay - I’m used to it.
I ain't famous, but I should be!
You see, I met Rosa Parks once't
But America don’t seem to care.
In fact, I’m the unknown redneck
Who tried to take away her chair.
I’ve lived my whole dang life as an unsung hero.
I should'a been a big shot. Man, life really bites.
What would Rosa have been without me to say "no" to?
Dammit, I helped launch the movement for civil rights!
But does anybody give me a little bit of credit?
Did Ms. Parks ever call to say thank you to me?
I was the guy who helped make her famous!
I mean, really, how ungrateful can you be?
So how ‘bout a little love fer the bad guys?
What would folks do without us to defeat?
I helped end hundreds of years of oppression.
I improved mankind by demandin' her seat!
Of course, all I was doing was being myself
And maybe I was racist and just plain rude
But all great strides are inspired by problems.
Well, here I am! You’re looking at one, dude!
I did the same darn thing lots'a times before
But that Rosa Parks, man, she was sure tough.
Things sure have changed since way back then.
Now, I can't get away with that kind'a stuff!
I even got kicked out of the Ku Klux Klan
For lettin' a woman get the better of me.
To this day, almost forty dang years later,
They blame the end of segregation on me!
Maybe someday I’ll get the thanks I deserve.
At this point, I’ll accept just about anything.
Even a headstone saying, “Here lies the cracker
That helped launch the career of Dr. King!”
Adding your comment:
... I have to appauld this, this is just too good 
or feel like an idiot
