Do you know what you are
You are what you is
You is what you am
A cow don't make ham
You ain't what you're not
So see what you got
You are what you is
An' that's all it 'tis
A foolish young man
From a middle class fam'ly
Started singin' the blues
'Cause he thought it was manly
Now he talks like the Kingfish
Saffiiiee
From Amos 'n Andy
Holy mack'l dere Holy mack'l dere
He tells you that chitlins
Well, they taste just like candy
He thinks that he's got
De whole thang down
From the Nivea Lotion To de Royal Crown
Do you know what you are
You are what you is
You is what you am
A cow don't make ham
You ain't what you're not
So see what you got
You are what you is
An' that's all it 'tis
A foolish young man
Of the Negro Persuasion
Devoted his life
To become a Caucasian
He stopped eating pork
He stopped eating greens
He traded his dashiki
Uhuru
For some Jordache Jeans
He learned to play golf
An' he got a good score
Now he says to himself
I AIN'T NO NIGGER NO MORE
HEY HEY
I don't understand you
BWANA MA COO BAH
Would you please speak more clearly
MERCEDES BAINNNNNNNZ
Who is who
I don't know
'N what is what
Somethin' I just don't know
'N why is this
Tell me now
Appropriot
That's a funny pronunciation if 'n ever I heard one
If you don't like
Where'd you get that word
What you has got
Appropriot The word is not
Drop it in the dirt
Drop it yeah
'N let it rot
I can smell it now
Someone else
Here de come, here de come
Will surely come
I told you they was comin'
'N pick it up
That's right
'Cause he wants some
An'he wants it for free
And when one day
There will come a day
You wonder who I wonder too
You used to was
Who I was anyway
'N what you do
I used to work at the post office
You'll scratch your head
But I don't wanna un do my doo
'N look around
just to see what's goin' on
But what you lost
Can't seem to find it
Will not be found
A Mercedes Benz Do you know what you are
I know
You are what you is
I'm the kinda guy
You is what you am
That ought to be drivin' a Mercedes Benz
A cow don't make a ham
A four fifty SLC
You ain't what your not
A big of red one
So see what you got
With some golf clubs stickin' out de trunk
You are what you is
I'm gwine down to de links on Saturday mornin'
An' that's all it is
Gimme a five dollar bill
YOU ARE WHAT YOU IS
And an overcoat too
AN' THAT'S ALL IT IS
Robbie, take me to Creek Town
YOU ARE WHAT YOU IS

'N work the floor 'n work the pipe
'N work the wall some more
And here we are at the Mudd Club, y'all
