Chocolate To the Bone

So glad I'm brownskin, so glad I'm brownskin, chocolate to the bone

So glad I'm brownskin, chocolate to the bone

And I've got what it takes to make a monkey man leave his home

Black man is evil, yellow's so low-down

Black man is evil, yellow man's so low-down

I walk into these houses just to see these black men frown

I'm just like Miss Lillian, like Miss Lillian, I mean Miss Glinn, you see

I'm just like Miss Lillian, I mean Miss Glinn, you see

She said, "A brownskin man is just all right with me."

So glad I'm brownskin, chocolate to the bone

So glad I'm brownskin, chocolate to the bone

I've got what it takes to make a monkey man leave his home

Yellow man won't quit, black man just won't 'have

Yellow man won't quit and a black man just won't 'have

But a pigmeat mama crazy about brownskin baby ways

I got a yellow mama, got a yellow mama, she always got a pleasant smile

I got a yellow mama, always got a pleasant smile

But that brownskin gal with those coal black dreamy eyes

So glad I'm brownskin, so glad I'm brownskin, I'm chocolate to the bone

So glad I'm brownskin, chocolate to the bone

And I've got what it takes to make a monkey man leave his home

Mmmmmmmm, Lawd, Lawd, Lawd, Lawd

And I've got what it takes to make a monkey man leave his home
