Original Soundtrack of the NBC Television Event

Hey

I can't see why people look at me and only see the color of my face

And then, there's those who try to help, God knows

But always have to put me in my place

Now I won't ask to be colorblind 'cause if you pick a fruit

Then, girl you're sure to find the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice

Now, I can say it ain't so, but darling what's the use?

The darker the chocolate, the richer the taste

And that's where it's at

Now run and tell that

(Run and tell that)

Uh huh, run and tell that

(Run and tell that)

Hey

I can't see why people disagree each time I tell 'em what I know is true

And if you'd come and see the world I'm from

I bet your heart is gonna feel it too

Now, I could lie, but baby, let's be bold

Vanilla can be nice, but if the truth be told

The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice

Now, I could say it ain't so, but darling, what's the use?

The darker the chocolate, the richer the taste and that's where it's at

Ohh, now, baby baby, run and tell that

Lil' Inez: Hey you're Tracey, You're my favorite dancer on the Corny Collins show

Seaweed: This is my sister Lil' Inez

Tracey: I saw you at the auditions

Lil' Inez: And you got on the show, Good for you because they kicked me out on my young, gifted, and black behind

Seaweed: Show 'em what you got girl

I'm tired of covering up all my pride

(So give me five on the black hand side)

I got a new way of moving and I got my own voice

(So, how can I help you to shout and rejoice)

Oh, The people 'round here can barely pay their rent

They're tryna make a dollar outta 15 cents, but we got a spirit money just can't buy

It's deep past the river and it soars through the sky (through the sky)

Oh, I can't see the reason it can't be the kinda world we all get our chance, yeah

The time is now and we can show 'em how

Just turn the music up and let's all dance

Cuz somethings are evil when it comes to love, but that ain't quite true

Cuz when push comes to shove

The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice

Now, I can say it ain't so, but darling what's the use?

The darker the chocolate, the richer the taste and that's where it's at (that's where it's at)

Then baby, run and tell that

(Run and tell that)

You better run and tell that, oh sugar

(Run and tell that)

Now run and tell that, you you

(Run and tell that)

You better run and tell that, heyyyyy ohhhh

That hey
