Em                  D 
Please sit down and listen 
Em           D 
Do not say a thing 
Em               D 
In matters of the heart 
Em                             D 
Sometimes the truth will have a sting 
Em                 D 
Do not take this personally 
Em         D 
This is no attack 
Em                     D 
But we will never work because 
Em                         D 
I'm white and you are also white 
 
Chorus 
 
G                          C                  D 
I only like black girls, and brown girls, the cafe au lait 
G                  C               D 
Caramel girls and mocha girls just blow me away 
C                                      D 
If you're a nubian I want you to be in every fantasy 
C                                        D                              Em 
But if you're a whitey say nighty-nighty 'cause you're not the girl for me 
 
 
Em                  D 
I don't like vanilla ice cream 
Em               D 
I like chocolate instead 
Em               D 
I hope she likes her soul food 
Em                   D 
With a little wonder bread 
Em                 D 
Don't call it jungle fever 
Em                D 
'Cause that just isn't right 
Em           D 
I am not a racist 
Em                         D 
Some of my best friends are white 
 
G                             C                  D 
I just prefer black girls, and brown girls, the cafe au lait 
G                  C               D 
Caramel girls and mocha girls just blow me away 
C                                             D 
If you're a cracker you better get blacker or else you best get out 
C                                    D                     Em 
It is no mystery I like a sister see that's what I'm talking about 
 
Em                D 
Our wedding song will be 
Em         D 
Ebony and Ivory 
Em                      D 
And we'll sing christmas carols 
Em                    D 
'Round the old Kwanzaa tree 
Em                   D 
But color is not the issue here 
Em                D 
It's dignity, it's class 
Em                D 
It's all about her heart
(No chords)
Well, its partly about that ass
 
G                             C                  D 
Gimme some black girls, and brown girls, the cafe au lait 
G                  C               D 
Caramel girls and mocha girls just blow me away 
C                                                          D 
I can't stand white girls I only like black girls that's the honest truth 
C                                                     D                     Em 
The skin that she's dwellin' in must contain melanin that is the fountain of youth 
 
G                          C                  D 
I only like black girls, and brown girls, the cafe au lait 
G                  C               D 
Caramel girls and mocha girls just blow me away 
 
Em
