Black & White Lyrics By Three Dog Night

    the ink is black the page is white
    together we learn to read and write
    a child is black a child is white
    the whole world looks upon the sight
    a beautiful sight

    and now a child can understand
    that this is the law of all the land
    all the land

    the world is black the world is white
    it turns by day and then by night
    a child is black a child is white
    together they grow to see the light
    to see the light

    and now at last
    we plainly see
    we’ll have a dance of liberty
    liberty

    the world is black the world is white
    it turns by day and then by night
    a child is black a child is white
    the whole world looks upon the sight
    a beautiful sight

    the world is black the world is white
    it turns by day and then by night
    a child is black a child is white
    together they grow to see the light
    to see the light

    the world is black the world is white
    it turns by day and then by night
    a child is black a child is white
    the whole world looks upon the sight
    a beautiful sight

    the world is black the world is white
    it turns by day and then by night
    a child is black a child is white
    together they grow to see the light
    to see the light

    c’mon
    get it
    get it
    oh yeah
    yeah
    keep it up now around the world
    little boys and little girls
    yeah
    yeaheah ohohhh
