NEO SAYS: Taken from the final recording session with Mitzi. The B-side was written and sung by her. The A-side was our attempt at South African township jive with lyrics inspired by quotes from white Rhodesians who emigrated to South Africa after the black population took power in Zimbabwe at the end of the 70s. ("We had servants!") Nice horn arrangement. American audiences always loved the line "You're goddam lucky you got your ignorant white ass out in time"; European audiences tended to stare blankly when we sang it. Great cover art by the artist not yet known as Harriet Dodge.
