2. A BLACK WOMAN IS LIKE A BLACK SNAKE

A black woman is like a black snake. She will strike and run.
A black woman is like a black snake. She will strike and run.
If you believe you'll have to hit her, she'll kill you and call it fun,
I mean, and call it fun.

All peach-sized (?) women, they come from different lands.
All peach-sized (?) women, they come from different lands.
When they get all busy (?) they got to do the best they can,
I mean, the best they can.

I wouldn't marry a black woman. I'll tell you the reason why.
I wouldn't marry a black woman. I'll tell you the reason why.
She's so black and evil she can't look you in your eye,
Look you in your eye.
