       B7
Oh the white folks hate the black folks
        E
And the black folks hate the white folks
   A
To hate all but the right folks
      E
Is an old established rule

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



       B7
Oh the poor folks hate the rich folks
        E
And the rich folks hate the poor folks
          A
All of my folks hate all of your folks
    E
Its American as apple pie


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


       B7
Oh the Protestants hate the Catholics
        E
And the Catholics hate the Protestants
        A
And the Hindus hate the Moslems
    E
And everybody hates the Jews


           E
But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week
     E
It's National Everyone smile at one another hood Week
E
Be nice to people who are inferior to you
    E

   E
