Colored Spade Lyrics by Darius Nichols, ‘Hair’ Tribe

Hair (The New Broadway Cast Recording)

2009

[HUD]
I'm a colored spade, a nigra, a black nigga
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 and Hardart
Slave, voodoo zombie, Ubangi-lipped
Flat nosed tap dancin' resident of Harlem
And president of the United States of Love
I said President of the United States of Love
(spoken)
Shit
[BERGER, spoken]
And for dinner at the White House, you're gonna feed him:
[HUD]
Watermelon, hominy grits, and shortnin' bread
Alligator ribs
[TRIBE]
And what?
[HUD]
Some pig tails
[TRIBE]
So you say
[HUD]
Some black eyed peas
[TRIBE]
So you say
[HUD]
Some chitlins
[TRIBE]
So you say
[HUD]
Some collard greens
[TRIBE]
Ooh
[HUD]
And if you don't watch out
The boogie man will get you
Booooooooo!
Boo! Boo! Boo! Boo! Boo! Boo! Boo! Boo! Boo! Boo! Boo!
So you say!
