Lyrics:
MICHAEL: Oi, Trufel!
MR TRUFEL: Look Michael, I was going to tell you. Things have just been really hectic at the
moment.
MICHAEL: Can you shed some light as to why you’re leaving?
MR TRUFEL: You see I found some information that was very upsetting.
MICHAEL: What information?
MR TRUFEL: It’s a bit embarrassing to say.
MICHAEL: Just say it.
MR TRUFEL:
I’VE GOT A BLACK KID
BUT I AM WHITE MICHAEL: Well I knew that.
MY WIFE AIN’T BEEN SLEEPING AROUND
ON ANY NIGHT
MY FRIENDS KEEPS TELLING ME THAT
HE IS NOT MY BOY
THEY SAY HIS LITTLE DARK FACE IS
NOT MY BUNDLE OF JOY
CUS MY KID’S BLACK
YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT I DON’T KNOW
WHY MY KID’S BLACK
MAYBE A DISCOLOURATION OF THE PIGMENTATION YOU KNOW
THAT I’M NO IDIOT
BUT HAVE YOU NOT CONSIDERED IT
THAT HE’S TANNED A BIT
NOT BLACK
MICHAEL: You can’t be serious.
MR TRUFEL: Look, I know the signs were there, but you just get attached… I wouldn’t expect you to understand but I fed that boy, changed him and cared for him. All that time for nothing.
MICHAEL: How old is he?
MR TRUFEL: Well a couple of weeks, but those were very eventful weeks.
MICHAEL: What’s the plan then?
MR TRUFEL: I don’t know, everything’s changing.
MICHAEL: How so?
MR TRUFEL:
SO MY WIFE LEFT ME
FOR A MAN CALLED JEROME
HE’S DARK SKIN JUST LIKE MY KIN AND
HE LIVES IN MY HOME
NOW I’M ON A FRIENDS SOFA
WITH THIS BLACK KID ON MY KNEE
GOO GOO GAGA I’M NOT YOUR FATHER
YOU LOOK NOTHING LIKE ME
CUS YOU ARE BLACK
YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT I WAS FOOLED
BY MY KIDS BACK
IT WAS AS FLAT AS HELL
AND NOT TOO BIG AS WELL YOU KNOW
THAT I AM DONE WITH HIM AND
DONE WITH HER AND DONE WITH GOD
I’VE GOT A BLACK KID
I’VE GOT A BLACK KID
