When I was born, I'm black.
When I grow up, I'm black.
When I go out in the sun, I'm black.
When I'm cold, I'm black.
When I'm scared, I'm black.
When I'm sick, I'm black.
And when I die, I'm still black.
When I grow up, I'm black.
When I go out in the sun, I'm black.
When I'm cold, I'm black.
When I'm scared, I'm black.
When I'm sick, I'm black.
And when I die, I'm still black.
You white folks…
When you're born, you're pink.
When you grow up, you're white.
When you go out in the sun, you're red.
When you're cold, you're blue.
When you're scared, you're yellow.
When you're sick, you're green.
When you bruise, you go purple.
And when you die, you go grey.
When you're born, you're pink.
When you grow up, you're white.
When you go out in the sun, you're red.
When you're cold, you're blue.
When you're scared, you're yellow.
When you're sick, you're green.
When you bruise, you go purple.
And when you die, you go grey.
So who you callin' coloured?
