Ebony and Ivory - by Stevie Wonder and 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

Where ever you go

There is good and bad in everyone

And we learn to live

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, ooh

We all know that people are the same

Where ever you go

There is 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

Side by side on my piano keyboard

Oh Lord, why don't we
