Black boys are delicious
Chocolate flavored love
Licorice lips like candy
I keep my cocoa handy
I have such a sweet tooth
When it comes to love
Once I tried a diet
Of quiet rest no sweets
But I went nearly crazy
And I went clearly crazy
Because I really craved for
Chocolate flavored treats
Black boys are nutritious
Black boys fill me up
Black boys are so dandy yummy
Always satisfy my tummy
I have such a sweet tooth
When it comes to love
Black black black black
Black black black black
Black boys!
White boys are so pretty
Skin as smooth as milk
White boys are so pretty
They're like Chinese silk
I tell you that the white boys give me goosebumps
White boys give me the chills
And when they touch my shoulder
That's the touch that kills
Well my mama calls them ninnies
But I call them picadillies
My daddy told me stay away
But I said come on out and let's play
White boys are so groovy
White boys are so tough
And every time that they're near me
I just can't get enough
White boys are so pretty
White boys are so sweet
White boys drive me crazy
Drive me in the street
White boys are so sexy
Legs so long and lean
I love those frayed old trousers
Love the love machine
My brother called them trouble
That's my kind of trouble
My daddy told me no no no no
But I said white boys, don't go
White boys are so lovely
Beautiful as girls
I love to run my fingers
And touch through all them curls
Give me a soft, a sweet, a sexy, a sweet
A pretty, a juicy white boy
Black boy! White boy!
Black boy! White boy!
