The only thing racist I can think of here is that the words talk about the stereotype wooden Indian holding cigars outside a store.

Makes me think of the little black-faced lawn people. Haven't seen them for awhile.

If there was a song about a little black-faced male statue falling in love with a little black-faced female statue, well, it sure would rankle some people.

Not because the SONG is racist - but the statues are.
