Music Ain’t Got No Color

[Intro]
Ooh-hoo

[Chorus]
Music ain't got no color, yeah
Music ain't got no color, no
Music ain't got no color, oh
Music ain't got no color, y'all know
Music ain't got no color (No color)
It sure ain't got no color, no (No color)
Music ain't got no color (No color)
Sure ain't got no color, no, listen (No color)

[Verse 1]
What color is a melody? (No color)
What color is a symphony? (No color)
What color is harmony?
Will somebody please answer me?

[Chorus]
Music ain't got no color
It sure ain't got no color, no
I swear it ain't got no color
Music ain't got no color, no
Music ain't got no color, oh (No color)
Music ain't got no color, yeah-yeah (No color)
Music ain't got no color, yeah-yeah, well (No color)
Music ain't got no color, no (No color)
Listen!

[Verse 2]
I read in a Jet magazine
Where the Bee Gees got rich
Singin' black music, and it made me sad, it made me sad
I read in the Rolling Stone
Dionne Warwick got rich singin' white music
And that made me mad, oh Lord, it made me mad
You see, God created music
And gave everybody somе, well-well
He didn't put music in color
Lеave it alone and go on and have you some fun, woo!
'Cause it ain't got no color, y'all, no
Y'all knew
Apple pie ain't got no color
I'll stand anywhere in the world and tell y'all
Music, woo
It ain't got no color, no
If he was gonna sell out my voice, now that ain't fair
I was in the back waitin' for a meal, y'all
But they ain't got no corn dog
Listen, woo

[Chorus]
Music ain't got no color (No color)
Sing it, children
Music ain't got no color, no (No color)
Music ain't got no color (No color)
Don't nobody say that no more
Sure ain't got no color, no (No color)
Color

[Verse 3]
What color is rock and roll-a? (No color)
What color is country and soul? (No color)
What color is jazz and pop, y'all? (No color)
And what color is gospel and rock ballad? (No color)
What color is opera and disco? (No color)
What color is a-reggae and limbo? (No color)
Head on

[Chorus]
Music ain't got no color (No color)
It sure ain't got no color, let me tell a thing (No color)

[Post-Chorus]
It ain't your music
It sure ain't my music
It ain't for the red man
It's not just for the brown man, I swear for God
It ain't for the yellow man
And it sure don't belong to the white man, no-no
It ain't just for the yellow man
It ain't for the brown man, Lord have mercy
'Cause music ain't got no color
Music ain't got, and if you bear with me
I want you to clap your hands out there and help me say
Music ain't got no color, let me hear everybody say that
It sure ain't got no, I want the disc jockey to sing along with me now
A-music ain't got no color, yeah Lord
Music ain't go no, everywhere you are, the sound of my voice say
Music ain't got no color, everybody sing
Music ain't go no, all over England let me hear you sing, I say
Music ain't got no, way over in Japan let me hear you say
Music ain't got no, let me hear over in Germany say
Music ain't got no, let me hear over in England say
Music ain't got no, way down in the Bahama islands say[Intro]
Ooh-hoo

[Chorus]
Music ain't got no color, yeah
Music ain't got no color, no
Music ain't got no color, oh
Music ain't got no color, y'all know
Music ain't got no color (No color)
It sure ain't got no color, no (No color)
Music ain't got no color (No color)
Sure ain't got no color, no, listen (No color)
