Oh the white folks hate the black folks
    E
And the black folks hate the white folks

To hate all but the right folks
   E
Is an old established rule

Lena Horne and Sheriff Clark are dancing cheek to cheek
  E
Its fun to eulogize, the people you despise
  E
As long as you dont let them in your school



    B7
Oh the poor folks hate the rich folks
    E
And the rich folks hate the poor folks
     A
All of my folks hate all of your folks
  E
Its American as apple pie


      E
But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week
E
New Yorkers love the Puerto Ricans because its very chic
E
Step up and shake the hand of someone you cant stand
E
You can tolerate him if you try


    B7
Oh the Protestants hate the Catholics
    E
And the Catholics hate the Protestants
