SONG: Run And Tell That
ARTIST: Marc Shaiman & Scott Wittman

From the musical, Hairspray

Ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh woo!

I can't see why people 
Look at me and only see the color of my face

And then there's those that try to 
Help, god knows, but have to always put me in my place

Now I won't ask you to be color blind
'Cause if you pick the fruit then girl, you're sure to find...

The blacker the berry
The sweeter the juice
I could say it ain't so
But darlin', what's the use?

The darker the choc'late
The richer the taste
And that's where it's at...
... now run and tell 
that!!

(Run and tell that!)

Run and tell 
that!

(Run and tell that!)

I can't see why people 
Disagree each time i tell them what i know is true

And if you come and see the 
World i'm from, I bet your heart is gonna feel it too

Yeah. I could lie but baby. Let's be bold
Vanilla can be nice but if the truth be told...

The blacker the berry
The sweeter the juice
I could say it ain't so
But darlin', what's the use

The darker the choc'late
The richer the taste
That's where it's at
Woo! Now run and tell 
that!!

(Run and tell that!)

Run and tell 
that!!

(Run and tell that!)

Now run and tell 
that!!

(Run and tell that!)

Now run and tell 
that!!

I'm tired of coverin' up all my pride
So give me five on the black hand side
I've got a new way of movin' and i got my own voice
So how can i help but to shout and rejoice

The people 'round here can barely pay their rent
They're "try'n to make a dollar outta fifteen cent"
But we got a spirit money just cant buy
It's deep as a river and soars to the sky!

I cant see the reason 
It can't be the kinda world where we all get our chance

The time is now and we can 
Show them how to turn the music up and let's all dance

'Cause all things are equal when it comes to love
Well, that ain't quite true 'cause when push comes to shove...

The blacker the berry
The sweeter the juice
I could say it ain't so
But darlin', what's the use?

The darker the choc'late
The richer the taste
That's where it's at
Woo! Now run and tell 
that!!

(Run and tell that!)

Now run and tell 
that!! 

(Run and tell that!)

Now run and tell 
that!! 

(Run and tell that!)

Now run and tell 
that!!
