I Too
I too, sing America
I am the darker brother
They send me to eat in the kitchen when company comes
But I laugh 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 we are and be ashamed
I, too, am America
I am the darker brother
They send me to eat in the kitchen when company comes
But I laugh 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 we are and be ashamed
I, too, am America
