Thread Name: Lyr Add: Black and White ('The ink is black...)
Subject: Lyr Add: BLACK AND WHITE (from The Spinners)
I may be missing something in my search for some lyrics, but, the Spinners Song, Black and White, does not appear to be in the database.
Please do not shout at me if it is.
I thought it would be a good addition


BLACK AND WHITE
Alan Roberts / Earl Robinson

The ink is black, the page is white
Together we learn to read and write
Read and write
And now a child can understand
This is the law in all the land
All the land
The ink is black, the page is white
Together we learn to read and write
Read and write

The slate is black, the chalk is white
The words stand out so clear and bright
Clear and bright
And now at last we plainly see
The alphabet of liberty
Liberty
The slate is black, the chalk is white
The words stand out so clear and bright
Clear and bright

A child is black, a child is white
The whole world looks upon the sight
A beautiful sight
And very well the whole world knows
This is the way that freedom grows
Freedom grows
A child is black, a child is white
The whole world looks upon the sight
A beautiful sight

The world is black, the world is white
It turns by day and it turns by night
It turns by night
It turns so each and everyone
Can take his station in the sun
In the sun
The world is black, the world is white
It turns by day and it turns by night
It turns by night
