Not the one I had in mind, but your guess might be a better fit.

Black ladies work hard for rich white ’uns,
and some of the latter are right ’uns!
The former can’t use
their spoilt bosses’ loos;
but in parts of the film the mood lightens.

Yes, Annie. A wonderful book, ...and a great film which fully did it justice.

It was the first, and only, film I've ever seen at the cinema on my own. What a liberating experience that was!! (I'm rather loath to add that it was a Senior Citizens cheap Wednesday morning showing, complete with a free cup of tea and a biscuit. I was so desperate to watch the film that I didn't care!)

Though the jungle has driven him daft
And brutality’s left him unstaffed,
He’s full of bravado;
‘I’ll find Eldorado
Alone from this crappy old raft!’

This might be as bad as one fears
the whole thing could go on for years—
a lot of old movies,
salivating old groovies,
and boring an audience to tears.
