The Whites Are Coming Lyrics

Whoa Ho, Look out people the whites are coming

Whoa Ho, They're gonna make the world all theirs again

They're gonna clean up the streets with their satin sheets

And rob you with a gold Cross pen

You'd better start running 'cause the whites are coming again

Down in Harlem you see that big iron ball a swinging

Darn them, they're gonna build everything bright and new

To save the money they spent, they're gonna raise the rent

Until you can't afford hot stew

You'd better start running 'cause the whites are coming for you

And downtown, they're tearing down bars and building new churches

Torn down, to make a holy place to drink their wine

Theaters closing evangelists nosing into things I thought were mine

You'd better start running cause the whites are drawing the line

And this time, they won't be stopping at separate bathrooms

This time, they're gonna make everyone different pay

They're gonna stop the free lunch and the welfare bunch

And put a tax on feeling OK

You'd better start running cause the whites are coming to stay

They're gonna lock the doors and make you scrub the floors

For less than a dollar a day

You'd better start running cause the whites are coming

Today

Whoa

Look out people the whites are coming

Whoa ho, they're gonna make the world all theirs again

They're gonna clean up the streets with their satin sheets

And rob you with a gold Cross pen

You'd better start running cause the whites are coming again
