Ebony and ivory
Live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard
Oh lord, why don't we?

We all know
That people are the same whereever you go
There is good and bad in ev'ryone
We learn to live
When we learn to give each other
What we need to survive, together alive

Ebony and ivory
Live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard
Oh lord why don't we?

Ebony, ivory, living in perfect harmony
Ebony, ivory, ooh

We all know
That people are the same wherever you go
There is good and bad in ev'ryone
We learn to live
When we learn to give each other
What we need to survive, together alive

Ebony and ivory
Live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard
Oh lord why don't we?
Side by side on my piano keyboard
Oh lord, why don't we

Ebony, ivory, living in perfect harmony
