Oh the white folks hate the black folks
E MajorE
And the black folks hate the white folks
A augmentedA
To hate all but the right folks
E MajorE
Is an old established rule

Lena Horne and Sheriff Clark are dancing cheek to cheek
E MajorE
Its fun to eulogize, the people you despise
E MajorE
As long as you dont let them in your school

Oh the poor folks hate the rich folks
E MajorE
And the rich folks hate the poor folks
A augmentedA
All of my folks hate all of your folks

But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week
E MajorE
New Yorkers love the Puerto Ricans because its very chic
E MajorE
Step up and shake the hand of someone you cant stand
E MajorE
You can tolerate him if you try
