Curtis Mayfield - Miss Black America lyrics

"Hello Daddy" "Hello baby, how is my love child?" "Fine" "Tell me, of all your dreams, what most do you hope te be when you become a big girl?" "Daddy, I would like to be Miss Black America" Hurringly stepping so proud Mother nature's only god child Society salutes you today And we'd like to say God bless Miss Black America Watch over Miss Black America She cried tears of succes We wish her long happiness Miss Black America Sisters we're all so very proud Of that natural look we se among the crowd World wide admiration From nation to nation They love you Miss Black America We love you too Miss Black America You're such wonderful people And so beautifully equal Miss Black America A culture noone can deny If a young child should ask Then tell them why They should not be ashamed Of their past, just explain The true mother is Black America None other than Miss Black America She cried tears of success We wish her long happiness Miss Black America Miss Black America We're so proud of you Miss Black America
