I, too sing America
I am the darker brother
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes
But I laught and eat well and grow strong
TOMORROW
I'll be at the table
when company comes
Nobody'll dare say to me
Eat In The Kitchen
Then,
Besides,
They'll see how Beautiful I am and be ashamed
...I, too am AMERICA.
