Trudy she's a nigger and Jimmy he's white
and that's why you're callin' him trash
They say you're a spic and she's a dyke
and all of her boyfriends are fags

The lingo that you speak may be absolutely bad
but that doesn't make it all right
You might think it's cool but I think it's bad
It's time for you guys to choose sides

It's time you realise
That these words are not so nice

There's fanatics on the left and fanatics on the right
And you are caught somewhere in between
But the world isn't black and the world isn't white
Even though sometimes it seems

Well I can stand a joke and I can really, really smile
But don't you think it's time to get wise
The things that you provoce might be funny for a while
But I think it's in disguise

Stop making jokes that ain't funny
And try to be nice for a while
And I tell you here and now, sonny
Someday you'll be less hostile

So you won't call Trudy a nigger
and Jimmy he still be white
And some guys may call you a sucker
But you'll be the one that's all right
