Now you're mighty like a rose,
all dressed up in fancy clothes.
You're just another brown gal
Now here's the fix you'll be livin'.
Yeah, you're just a brown gal,
Making my life just a bubble,
not even taking the trouble
to even blow bubbles away.
Brown gal, chocolate gal,
but you break all conventions.
Oh, baby, changing my night into day.
Baby, the blue, the blue,
the blue, the blue rain, boy.
The blazing sun will blacken my skin.
Too dark for troubles to find their way in.
Lordy, I can see all them folks
But I'm just natural born lazy
Making my life just a bubble
Not even taking the trouble
To even blow bubbles away
will bring blacken my skin.
I ain't gonna let troubles get in.
But I'm just natural born
Making my life just a bubble.
Not even diggin' the shovel
to even blow bubbles away.
