Miss Black America

'Hello Daddy'

'Hello baby, how is my love child?'

'Fine'

'Tell me, of all your dreams, what most do you hope te be when you become a big girl?'

'Daddy, I would like to be Miss Black America'

Hurringly stepping so proud

Mother nature's only god child

Society salutes you today

And we'd like to say

God bless Miss Black America

Watch over Miss Black America

She cried tears of succes

We wish her long happiness

Miss Black America

Sisters we're all so very proud

Of that natural look we se among the crowd

World wide admiration

From nation to nation

They love you Miss Black America

We love you too Miss Black America

You're such wonderful people

And so beautifully equal

Miss Black America

A culture noone can deny

If a young child should ask

Then tell them why

They should not be ashamed

Of their past, just explain

The true mother is Black America

None other than Miss Black America

She cried tears of succes

We wish her long happiness

Miss Black America

Miss Black America

We're so proud of you

Miss Black America
