letra de i, too, sing america / okay negroes - leonard bernstein
[baritone]
i, too, sing america
i am the darker brother
[mezzo]
okay, okay, okay negroes
american negroes
american negroes
[baritone]
they send me to eat in the kitchen
[mezzo]
looking for milk
[baritone]
when company comes
[mezzo]
crying out loud
[baritone]
but i laugh
and eat well
[mezzo]
in the nursery of freedomland
[baritone]
and grow strong
[mezzo]
the rides are rough
[baritone]
tomorrow
i’ll sit at the table
when company comes
n0body’ll dare
say to me
“eat in the kitchen,”
then
[mezzo]
tell me where you got that image
of a male white mammy
god is vague and he don’t take no sides
[baritone]
besides
they’ll see how beautiful i am
and be ashamed —
[mezzo]
you think clean fingernails crossed legs a smile
shined shoes
a crucifix around your neck
good manners
no more noise
you think who’s gonna give you something?
you think who’s gonna give you something?
[baritone]
i, too, am america
[mezzo]
come a little closer
where you from?
[baritone]
i, too, am america
tomorrow i’ll sit at the table
[mezzo]
come a little closer
where you from?
