Ebony
& Ivory
Sen. Trent Lott (R-MS) recently
stated that if Strom Thurmond had won the presidential election in
1948 (Thurmond ran entirely on a pro-segregation platform) this country
"would not have had all these problems over the years". This is Mr.
Lott's theme music for his next election campaign...
(Sung to the tune of "Ebony and Ivory" by Paul McCartney and Stevie
Wonder)
Guest song parody by Mark
Hoolihan
(instrumental intro)
Ebony and Ivory,
Live in separate but equal harmony.
That's exactly what Thurmond wanted.
Oh Lord, why don't we?
We all know that segregation was the way we didn't go.
There's nostalgia in some of us.
We had to change, had to live with others
But our dream will survive.
We'll keep hate alive...
Ebony, Ivory separate but equal harmony
Ebony, Ivory, ooh...
We all know that Thurmond wanted just to keep status quo.
There's good and bad, in every plan.
We had to change, had to live with others.
But our dream will survive.
We'll keep hate alive...
Side by side burning crosses they did.
Oh Lord, why don't we?
Ebony, Ivory, separate but equal harmony.
Ebony, Ivory, separate but equal harmony.
Ebony, Ivory, separate but equal harmony.
