Dark Chocolate
Thank God for black on black bigotry,
oh the sweet dark chocolate they left for
me.
Thank you for their eyes did not see
swarthy is the beauty I seek.
Thank you for my brothers misery, because
precious dark chocolate is in love with
me.
The bright of her smile the light of her
eyes the contrast so deep.
Her ebony face her curly locks eclipses
the sun with angelic majesty.
In the moonlight her beauty is of
sparkling gold, God she's my sweet baby to
honor to love and hold.
Oh the folly my brothers, for when she's
in my arms I dream of a sweet princess,
royalty of long ago
Her kiss the berry so dark so sweet.
Her honey sweet waters streaming replete.
I am your shining knight and the spoils
of war you will keep, on bend-ed
knee I will not harbor a diamond, ruby or
nugget of gold, my swarthy princess
you intoxicate me so.
In your bosom please don't let go.
Thank God my brothers did not know.
