Coloured Spade by Original London Cast of Hair Lyrics

[TRIBE]
Ooh, ah!
Ooh, ah!
Ooh, ah!
OOH!

[TRIBE MEMBER]
Walla walla, gooba gooba!

[BERGER]
Boogie woogie, nookie nookie!

[HUD (spoken)]
Comes the eclipse, I cover the white moon
Dig?

[BERGER (spoken)]
More on our outer space programme in one moment

[HUD]
IIIIIIIIII'mmmm aaaaaa...
Coloured spade, a negro, a black nigga
A jungle bunny, Jigaboo, coon, pickaninny, mau mau
Uncle Tom, Aunt Jemima, Little Black Sambo
Cotton-pickin', fuzzy-wuzzy junk man, shoeshine boy
Elevator operator, table cleaner at Horn & Hardart
Slave, voodoo zombie, Ubangi-lipped
Flat-nosed tap dancer, resident of Harlem
And president of the United States of Love
President of the United States of Love
Sssshhhiiiiiit!

[BERGER]
And if you ask him to dinner, feed him!

[HUD (Tribe)]
Watermelon, hominy grits, and shortnin' bread
Alligator ribs
And 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
The boogieman will get you
BoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo! (*screaming*)
BoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo! (*screaming*)

So you say!
