  • I'm a white bread, I'm a white bread, so?
    I'm a got a ring and I hang it through my nose
    Got a little game, take it to the park,
    Don't care who plays, long as the game is on.

    My sister and her boyfriend slept in the park,
    Had to leave home because he was dark
    Now they parade around in New York with a baby boy,
    He's gorgeous!
    Ain't nobody leaving!

    Blacks call each other "brother" and "sis,"
    Count me in, because I've been missed
    I've seen color changed by a kiss,
    Just as my brother and my sister.

    My sister and her boyfriend slept in the park,
    Had to leave home because he was dark
    Now they parade around in New York with a baby boy,
    He's gorgeous!
    Ain't nobody leaving!

    I wish I knew everyone's nickname,
    All their slang and all their sayings
    Everyone would show affection,
    Know how to dress to fit the occasion

    And I wish we all waved
    All waved
    All waved
    I wish we all
    Wish we all
    Wish we all
