harris and harris - teasing brown lyrics

[intro: alfoncy harris & bethenea harris]
now listen here, chappie
what is it?
don’t you know it ain’t but three pretty things in this world?
and what are they?
that’s yellow money, yellow taxi cabs, and yellow women
but don’t forget a teasing brown is the best gal after all
i believe you’s right about that

[verse: alfoncy harris]
i had a gal, a teasing brown
but i did not treat her right
i acted a fool, and i told her down
another gal was real bright
but if i ever get lucky again
gon’ get myself a teasing brown (sing it, boy!)
because they are the best gal in your town

[chorus: alfoncy harris]
now a teasing brown is the best brown after all
they will stick by you in the winter, spring, summer, and fall

[bridge: alfoncy harris]
now lots of folks claim a monkey man of dark color
is really going crazy ‘bout a real high yellow
now a high yellow will throw you boys, and that ain’t all
at night when you come home, another mule is in your stall
yellow gal with lots of money, loudly she will sing
telling all dark men she ain’t putting out a thing
now a brown will have a dollar, can see it in her hand
2/5ths for herself, boys, and 6/5ths for her man
now a brown will love you, treat you right
stay at home and bake them beans both day and night
and work and tell you that a brown is alright
when a yellow gal gets 25 years old, she draws up like tripe

[chorus: alfoncy harris]
now boys, a teasing brown is the best brown after all
