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 
Ohh-ohhhh, yeah, yeah 
Keep it up now, around the world 
Little boys and little girls
