[Verse]
Now here's a message, a message to all beautiful woman
A story older than the sands of time
And out from beginning, and what may be the end
Of all mankind, now the rib of a man, oh lord, do you take
And emoted a black woman, but some called a mistake
But he gave her beauty, ease her life
And said to man, he may even call her wife
Oh, you beautiful black creature, you
Just look at what you made man do
With your natural hair and skin of ebony hue
Her toney beige was skin soft as the morning dew
And you moved, you moved, you moved
With such style and grace, you truly are someone
Of your beautiful race, oh you beautiful creature, you
So right on sister, right on, right on
Now do you want me to move a mountain?
That’s a little tough
Must I stop the whole wide world, even girl
That's kind of rough, but darling one minute you're bold
And cold and hard like glass
But the next moment you’re beautiful
Enjoying such wonderful class
In a bikini that hugs and curves, that holds you all around
What a mink fur, beautiful diamonds, hanging down
Oh, you beautiful creature you
Makes no difference what you wear, but touch
Of a soul sister is always there
There's one more thing I must say before I go
So I guess I'll say it nice, kind of sexy
And, very very slow, and that's
You're beautiful creature you
Right on sister, right on
Like boon, right on, right on
