Is She Is Or Is She Ain't
The Charmer (Louis Walcott / Louis Farrakhan)

I am trying to find a solution
'bout a certain person.
Trying to find a solution
'bout a certain person
With this modern surgery,
They changed him from he to she;
But behind that lipstick, rouge and paint,
I got to know, is she is or is she ain't?

I wonder what gave him the idea and the spark
To leave the country bound for Denmark?
He tried to live the life of a man;
But that was not in accord with Nature's plan,
So he underwent this operation
And came back home to shock the nation;
But behind that lipstick, rouge and paint,
I got to know, is she is or is she ain't?

When he/she came back to this country,
They made her a popular celebrity;
Under public sentiment,
she got movie contract and plenty engagement.
People all came out of curiosity
To see this amazing freak of the century;
But behind that lipstick, rouge and paint,
I still wonder, is she is or is she ain't?

When that lady walk across the stage,
they call her the wonder of this modern age.
Now she making plenty money
Because of her moves and plastic surgery.
Drawing down twenty thousand a week,
and not one listening to this record could get a peek.

So behind that lipstick, rouge and paint,
What you think she is?
Boy, I know she ain't!
