Lyrics

1st verse:
He donned his hat, put on his coat,
And the racist stepped outside.
Oh he donned his hat, put on his coat,
And the racist stepped outside.

And he got in his car,
He started it and went for a ride.
And he drove to the park,
He parked his car and then stepped outside.

He donned his hat, put on his coat,
And the racist stepped,
The racist stepped outside.

2nd verse:
He walked around, he walked around,
He walked around outside.
There were children playing: a sunny day.
And the racist beamed with pride.

"What a love-, lovely day!
"I glad I went outside for a ride.
"What a love-, lovely day!
"I'm glad I walked around here outside."

He walked around, he walked around,
He walked around,
He walked around outside.

3rd verse:
What is the point of this short song?
What could the message be?
Well despite the things that he believes,
He acts like you and me.

And because, -cause of this,
His racism can be hard to see.
Yes because, -cause of this,
His racism can be hard to see.

Despite the things that he believes,
He acts like you,
He acts like you and me.
