In the middle of discussions
How to run and rule the world
My nextdoor neighbour says : the Russians
Will keep us forever on red alert
Then comes a sudden change of subject
My neighbour's desperate for a clue
One of his burning racial questions
Do Blacks get a suntan too
Oh oh oh … Blacks get a suntan too
Oh oh oh … Blacks get a suntan too
Tell me all about your colour
Whoever you are, whatever your race
Does it change and does it wander
From light to dark on sunny days
My mama says the sun is shining
For us all, including you
Stop the doubting and the whining
'cos Blacks do get a suntan too
oh oh oh … Blacks get a suntan too
oh oh oh … Blacks get a suntan too
