Cockney Black

Eddy Grant

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh...
Oh-oh, oh-oh, yeah
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh...
(Yeah)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, yeah
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...)

I would rather be white
And live in a shack
Rather than live in a palace
And be called a cockney black
Yeah, one more time
I would rather be white
And live in a shack
Rather than live in a palace
And be called a cockney black, yeah

Lord, I don't have a witness
Only your eyes alone can see
I don’t mind the troubles
Just let me have some peace, yeah
(I don't have a witness)
The more I seem to go forward
Harder the road seems to be
Oh, why can't you treat me like a man
Instead of treating the color of me
(I don’t have a witness)

Oh, I say, I would rather be white
And live in a shack
Rather than live in a palace
And be called a cockney black
One more time
Oh, I would rather be white
And live in a shack
Rather than live in a palace
And be called a cockney black

Alright, alright
Oh, oh-oh, yeah
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh...
Ooh, yeah, baby, baby

Oh, standing on the corner
Simple as it may seem
Lord, I don't know just where I stand
Lord, I don't know where I stand
Lord, I don't know just where I stand
Stand, stand, stand
Lord, I, Lord, I, Lord, I, Lord, I
Lord, I don't know where I stand, oh, yeah

I would rather be white
And live in a shack
Oh, rather than live in a palace
And be called a cockney black...
