Run and Tell That

歌詞

Ooooh... Seaweed: HEY! I can't see why people look at me and only see the color of my face, aw yeah. Then there's those, who try to help god knows, but always have to put me in my place. But i wont ask you to be color blind 'Cause if you pick the fruit Then girl, you're sure to find... The blacker the berry, The sweeter the juice. I could say it ain't so, But darlin', what's the use? The darker the chocolate The richer the taste And that's where it's at... Now baby, run and tell that! Detention Kids: Run and tell that! Seaweed: Oh sugar, run and tell that! Detention Kids: Run and tell that! Seaweed: I can't see why people disagree Each time I tell them what I know is true And if you come and see the world I'm from I bet your heart is gonna feel it too Yeah, I could lie But baby, let's be bold Vanilla can be nice But if the truth be told... The blacker the berry The sweeter the juice I could say it ain't so But darlin', what's the use? The darker the chocolate The richer the taste And that's where it's at... Oh baby, baby, run and tell that. Detention Kids: Run and tell that! Seaweed: Come here girl. This is my sister, Li'l Inez. Li'l Inez: Oh, I know Tracy Turnblad. Good for you girl, you got on the show. Tracy: Well, You better be next. Li'l Inez: You got that right. Seaweed: Oh, you know she is, you better show her girl. Li'l Inez: I'm tired of coverin' up all my pride Seaweed & Detention Kids: So give me five n the black-hand side Li'l Inez: I've got a new way of movin' And i got my own voice Seaweed & Detention Kids: So how can i help But to shout and rejoice Li'l Inez: The people round here Can barely pay their rent They're try'n to make a dollar Out'a fifteen cent But we got a spirit Money just cant buy It's deep as a river And soars to the sky, to the sky. Seaweed: I cant see The reason it can't be The kinda world where we all get our chance The time is now So we can show 'em how Just turn the music up and let's all dance 'Cause all things are equal When it comes to love Well, that ain't quite true 'Cause when push comes to shove... The blacker the berry The sweeter the juice I could say it ain't so But darlin', what's the use? The darker the chocolate The richer the taste And that's where it's at... Seaweed & Detention Kids: ... Now run and tell that! Detention Kids: Run and tell that! (repeat)
