Color is color

Unless you give it another name.

Color can be beautiful.

Many will say the same.

 

What's your color?

What's your new name?

What's your color?

Don't be ashamed.

 

Are you Honey Brown,

The sweet pancake tone

That looks sweet enough  to eat

With syrup or just alone?

 

Are you Brown Sugar today

Just as sweet as can be?

If you're that sweet to the eye,

Someone must call you Sweet Lady.

 

Are you that Red Bone

From way down South

With sugary sweet

Delicious words spilling from your mouth?

 

Are you Coal Black

And all that

Who has the knack

To keep a brother on track?

 

Are you Cinamon Sweet

Like a lovely treat

Who is so sweet

That her love's complete?

 

Could you be Chocolate Cool

Who makes the boys druel

From home to school

And treats each one like a plumb fool?

 

Whatever your color

Don't count it a waste.

There are all sorts of colors

That suits every kind of taste
