Ebony and Ivory (solo vocal) Songtext
von Paul McCartney

Ebony and ivory
Live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard
Oh, Lord, why don′t we?

We all know that people are the same wherever you go
There's good and bad in everyone
We learn to live when we learn to give each other
What we need to survive together alive

Ebony and ivory
Live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard
Oh, Lord, why don′t we?

Ebony, ivory
Living in perfect harmony
Ebony, ivory, oh


We all know that people are the same wherever you go
There is good and bad, uh-hum, in everyone
We learn to live when we learn to give each other
What we need to survive together alive

Ebony and ivory
Live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard
Oh, Lord, why don't we?
Side by side on my piano keyboard
Oh, Lord, why don't we?

Ebony, ivory
Living in perfect harmony
Ebony, ivory
Living in perfect harmony (ivory)
Ebony, ivory (ebony)
Living in perfect harmony (ivory)
Ebony, ivory (ebony)

Living in perfect harmony
Ebony, ivory
Living in perfect harmony
Ebony, ivory
Living in perfect harmony
