You've got to be taught To hate and fear, You've got to be taught From year to year, It's got to be drummed In your dear little ear You've got to be carefully taught.
You've got to be taught to be afraid Of people whose eyes are oddly made,
And people whose skin is a different shade, You've got to be carefully taught.
You've got to be taught before it's too late, Before you are six or seven or eight, To hate all the people your relatives hate, You've got to be carefully taught!
Though I know that we meet every night And we couldn't have changed since the last time To my joy and delight It's a new kind of love at first sight
Though it's you and it's I all the time Every meeting's a marvelous pastime You're increasingly sweet So whenever we happen to meet
I greet you with a song in my heart I behold your adorable face Just a song at the start But it's soon is a hymn to your grace
When the music swells I'm touching your hand It tells that you're standing near, and At the sound of your voice
Heaven opens its portals to me Can I help but rejoice That a song such as ours came to be But I always knew I would live life through With a song in my heart for you
This can't be love because I feel so well No sobs, no sorrows, no sighs This can't be love I get no dizzy spells My head is not in the sky
My heart does not stand still just hear it beat This is too sweet to be love This can't be love because I feel so well But still I love to look in your eyes
My heart does not stand still just hear it beat This is too sweet to be love This can't be love because I feel so well But still I love to look in your eyes I love to look in your eyes
If you should ever leave me take my smile, Might as well, I won’t tell, I’ll never need to use it long as you’re gone, What’s the use, there’d be no excuse,
You see you’re the only one who ever made me laugh, You gave your love to me, you were my better half, I only frown without you all the while, So if you should ever leave me take my smile, ...
You see you’re the only one who ever made me laugh, You gave your love to me, you were my better half, I only frown without you all the while, So if you should ever leave me take my smile,
If you should ever leave me, baby please believe me, If you should ever leave me take my smile.

I walked in, sat down Took my sutomary look around I saw a fine young thin heading straight my eyes And before I could think if something slick to say
She sat right down and said, ?Yes, you may? She was slappin' the cakes on me, my friend She was slappin' the cakes on me She was slappin' the cakes on me, my friend
She was slappin' the cakes on me as any fool could plainly see She was full of feminie expertise She was on her toes, I was on my knees She was slappin' the cakes on me, my friend She was slappin' the cakes on me
I was mute, I was mum, I was trying not look too dumb I said I certainly hope you won't misconstrue But perhaps we could have a little drink or two I said, ?What's your pleasure?? , she said, ?Guys like you?
We walked out hand in hand, exactly as the lady planned Then I moved in with my smoothest line I said, ?Look here woman, what's your sign?? Later for that your place or mine
She was slappin' the cakes on me, my friend She was slappin' the cakes on me She was slappin' the cakes on me, my friend She was slappin' the cakes on me as any fool could plainly see
She was a ruthless master of poetry She was over my head, I was out of my league She was slappin' the cakes on me, my friend She was slappin' the cakes on me
Now to tell you the truth that's exactly what happened Just the other night when this lady started She was slappin' the cakes on me She was slappin' the cakes on me
She was too good to me How can I get along now Sop close she stood to me Everything seems all wrong now She would have brought me the sun Making me smile that was her fun
If I was mean to her She would never say go away now I was a king to her Who's gonna light my way now It's only natural, I'm so blue She was too good to be true
