Funny Names
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A stranger`s a friend
You just don`t know
With a shake of the hand
We could give it a go
I look kinda pale
They call me gringo
You got funny hair
They call you negro
Under the skin say we`re all the same
How come when I turn my back
You call me funny names
How come when I turn my back
You call me funny names
Funny names
I`m not like you
You`re not like me
Don`t think that will ever change
It`s obvious to see
You`re not like me
I`m not like you
Don`t mean that we can`t get along
And like each other too
`Cos under the skin say we`re all the same
How come when I turn my back
You call me funny names
How come when I turn my back
You call me funny names
Funny names
Recognise the difference
Give thanks we ain`t the same
Variety`s the spice of life
Hey fella what`s your name
Some live in the city
Some come from ghettoes
Eat funny food
Speak funny lingo
Yes a stranger`s a friend
You just don`t know
Forever by your side
Just like a shadow
`Cos under the skin say we`re all the same
How come when I turn my back
You call me funny names
How come when I turn my back
You call me funny names
Funny names
How come you call me funny names
Funny names
