Satins and silks the queen did lack but had red paint that looked well on black so she painted her lord and master's back to dress him up for the party
Crowns and stars and ships with sails and flying dragons with curly tails "Thats a dress" said the queen "that never fails to charm the folks at a party.
(the island was "Gulp-em-down" and I think the poem was called "The Cannibal Chief" I remember it from about 1958. Would be censored as politically incorrect these days.
Satins and silks the Queen did lack, But she'd some red paint that looked well on black, So she painted her lord and master's back Before he went out to the party.
Crowns and stars, and ships with sails, And flying dragons with curly tails-- "That's a dress," said the Queen, "that never fails To charm all folks at a party."
So, painted up till he looked his best, With pipe in mouth and feather in crest, Okee-Pokee marched out without a coat or vest, But yet in full dress, to the party.

That's the complete poem!
