Noddy and Big ears were out driving one day,
When they heard that poor Golliwog, he just could not stay,
He’s politically incorrect, they was told by their peers,
Golliwog must go — do we make ourselves clear?
*
*
Golliwog must go, but how can that be?
He is our dear friend — it just cannot be!
We have had such good times with him and his kin,
Golliwog, you stay, they said with a grin.
*
*
Leaning down harder on Noddy and friend,
Their peers chastised them with their words once again,
The powers that be say he is not good for the land,
Or the people within it: Golliwog is banned!
*
*
Golliwog is banned? Now we know that you’re bad,
Said Noddy and Big Ears, (they were getting quite mad),
To punish our friend, to exile him in disgrace,
Just because of his skin and the look of his face!
*
Fighting back harder, Noddy and Big Ears they sang,
We’ll bring you to court, the highest in the land,
We’ll tell then you are racist, for denying our friend,
Our dearest friend, Golliwog, because of his skin.
*
*
Aghast and bamboozled that their case it was lost,
Their peers relinquished their grip on the fiendish old plot,
Okay, she said, Golliwog can stay,
Hurray, Noddy cheered, come on, let’s play!
