Hair Soundtrack - Colored Spade

Track 4

Lyrics
I'm a
Colored spade
A nigra
A black nigra
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 cleaner at Horn & Hardart
Slave voodoo
Zombie
Ubangi lipped

Flat nose
Tap dancin'
Resident of Harlem

And president of
The United States of Love
President of
The United States of Love

(and if you ask him to dinner you're going to feed him:)

Watermelon
Hominy grits
An' shortnin' bread
Alligator ribs
Some pig tails
Some black eyed peas
Some chili
Some collard greens

And if you don't watch out
This boogie man will get you
Booooooooo!

I'll be singing this song in the Swedish adaption of the musical. God help us all.

"And President of the United States of Love!" Barack Obama is a love child of the 60's fulfilling the best of those dreams. Amazing still how it all came true, just like in a musical.  And remember the stadium he took his nomination to in Denver for the first time leaving the convention hall and taking it to the people. And then the crowd in Chi-town and then D.C. Long may he reign.

[Cossetteliar3876]

this song makes me wanna be black...man I'm white

[crazymama1955]

@ollicompollimaster You are a dreamer. Wonder how many people would get it and know where the song came from if it had actually happened? Us boomers are clearly in the majority so the public reaction would be interesting for sure.

[TheCountryMouse]

@philipcarol Yeah, this is sooo Chappelle. I agree w/ you!

[torrentANONYMOUScodc]

@misterjaw76 exactly.

[ollicompollimaster]

It would be epic if Obama actually sang this during his nomination.

[amorttine]

Very Good i love hair

[BrokenSouls]

@franznpdx I meant to give you a thumbs up and accidentally pressed the down thumb. D:

[philipcarol]

This is the kind of thing Chappelle would do... and in his typical fashion, he would attempt to make it humorous, but it would be more offensive and time-wasting than actually funny.

Hmmmm, now that I think about it, he does variations on this all the time. Perhaps this number had an influence on him.

[Aerohog1]

Different lyrics and key from the original-this is the Fox version?

[theburningitch]

@franznpdx Long may he reign...No. Just no. By now I hope you've changed your ridiculous views on that socialistic moron.
