The Mulatto Song

The Mulatto Song


by Dewey Cox



Capo 7



C                                                          F


If you’ll permit me I’d like to sing a song about the mulatto

G                                                        C


Live and let live even if there’s mixed blood that’s my motto

F                G


One half Voodoo, one half Wisconsin, 

Am

He’ll do your taxes but he won't stop dancin’

F                     G

Slaves holding wipes, halfros with hips

Am

That's the Mulatto

C                                                      F


Half Boogie, half uptight, half day and half night mulatto

G                                                  C


Coffee with cream like a billion at playing the lotto

F                     G


One whole is good but two halves is better,

Am

Run through the jungle in a powder blue sweater

F                     G


Listen think twice I say lets be nice to 

Am

The mulatto

F                       G              C

Jive talking sister who don’t move her hips

F                         G             C

Big hammer, big nail with great golfing tips

F                         G             C


Guys who can box and have pool memberships

F                     G                  C

It’s time to come to grips with the mulatto


C



Mulatto!
