Run And Tell That - The Academy Allstars
Hey Trace my moms pitching a platter party
At our record shop up off North Avenue
Wanna come on check it out
May I also come check it out
Oh you surely may
I've never been to North Avenue
Would it be safe up there for you know us
Yeah don't worry cracker boy it's cool
Imagine being invited places by colored people
It feels so hip hehe
I'm glad you feel that way friends 'cause not everybody does
I can't see
Why people look at me
And only see the color of my face
Yes they do
And then there's those
That try to help God knows
But have to always put me in my place
Now I won't ask you to be color blind
'Cause if you pick the fruit
Then girl you're sure to find
The blacker the berry
The sweeter the juice
I could say it ain't so
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
Run and tell that
Run and tell that
I can't see
Why people disagree
Each time I tell them what I know is true
Ahha
And if you come
And see the world I'm from
I bet your heart is gonna feel it too
Yeah I could lie
But baby let's be bold
Vanilla be nice
But if the truth be told haha
The blacker the berry
The sweeter the juice haha
I could say it ain't so
Darling what's the use
The darker the chocolate
The richer the taste wooh
And that's where it's at woo
Now run and tell that
Run and tell that
Run and tell that
Run and tell that
Run and tell that
Run and tell that
Run and tell that
Run and tell that
Oh come on
Yeah ahh
Oohhh yeah come on
Oh yeah
Hey you're Tracy Turnblad
You're my favorite dancer on the Corny Collins Show
This is my sister Li'l Inez
Yeah I saw you at the auditions
Well you're the only one who did
'Cause they kicked me out
On my young gifted and black
Behind
Tell them girl
I'm tired of covering up all my pride
So give me five on the black hand side
I've got a new way of moving
And I got my own voice
So how can I help
But to shout and rejoice oh
The people around here
Can barely pay their rent
They're trying to make dollar out a fifteen cent
But we got a spirit money just can't buy
It's deep as a river
It soars to the sky
I can't see
The reason it can't be
The kinda world where we all get our chance
Oh
The time is now
And we can show them how
To turn the music up and let's all dance
'Cause all things are equal
When it comes to love
Well that ain't quite true
'Cause when a push comes to shove
The blacker the berry
The sweeter the juice
I could say it ain't so
Darling what's the use
The darker the chocolate
The richer the taste
That's where it's at
Yeah Now run and tell that
Run and tell that
Run and tell that
Run and tell that
You better run and tell that
Run and tell that
Run and tell that yeah yeah yeah
