The Lyrics

In honor of Trent Lott's recent racist comments
Ebony and Ivory
(To the tune of "Ebony and Ivory by Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder)

Chorus:
Ebony and Ivory
Live in separate but equal harmony
That's exactly what Thurmond wanted
Oh Lord, why don't we

We all know that segregation was
The way we didn't go
There's nostalgia in some of us
We had to change, had to live with others
But our dream will survive
We'll keep hate alive

(Chorus)

Ebony, Ivory separate but equal harmony
Ebony, Ivory, ooh

We all know that Thurmond wanted just
To keep status quo
There's good and bad, in every plan
We had to change, had to live with others
But our dream will survive
We'll keep hate alive

Side by side burning crosses they did
Oh lord why don't we

Ebony, Ivory, separate but equal harmony (3x)

Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker would be something funny for EBONY AND IVORY don't you agree..............I may think i may it up for the song. I thought Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney sang this.
