Frumpy - How the Gipsy was Born |
|
And God saw that this work was nearly done |
|
a green, mighty planet circled round the sun. |
|
Silver fishes increased in the blue seas |
|
all kinds of feathered built their nests in the trees. |
|
And God saw that everything was nice |
|
but there had to be a creature who looked like me and you - so he realised! |
|
So he took some earth and put it in a form |
|
but the oven wasn't hot enough - so the white man was born! |
|
Walk on, walk on, you can live in the cold zone of the world |
|
'cause you are used to it, since your birth. |
|
I have to build another creature who looks like me and you |
|
but one who's not so pale - he has to get a hotter blow! |
|
So he took some earth and put it in a form |
|
but the oven was too hot now - so the black man was born! |
|
Walk on, walk on, you can live in the hot zone of the world |
|
'cause you are used to it, since your birth. |
|
I have to build another creature who looks like me and you |
|
but one who's not so dark - he has to get a special blow! |
|
So he took some earth and put it in a form |
|
an the oven was right now - so the gipsy was born! |
|
Go to the top of the mountain and look, do you see this land around? |
|
Go where you like to be 'cause you and the gipsy will be free ... |
