Colored Spade (From "Hair")

I'm a colored spade, a nigra, a black ****

A jungle bunny, jigaboo, coon, pickaninny, mau mau

Uncle Tom, Aunt Jemima, Little Black Sambo

Cotton pickin', swamp guinea, junk man, shoeshine boy

Elevator operator, table cleaners at Horn and Hardart

Slave, voodoo zombie, Ubangi-lipped

Flat-nosed tap dancer, resident of Harlem

And president of

The United States of Love

Said president of

The United States of Love

Shit

Man, if you ask him to dinner, you're gonna feed him

Watermelon, hominy grits, and shortnin' bread

Alligator ribs, some pig tails

So you say

Some black eyed peas

So you say

Some chitlins

So you say

Some collard greens

So you say

And if you don't watch out

This boogie man will get you

Boo

Yeah, boo

So you say
