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 wherever you go
There is good and bad
In everyone

We learn to live
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
Oh, oh

We all know
That people are the same wherever you go
There is good and bad
In everyone

We learn to live
When we learn to give each other what we need to survive
Together alive

Live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard
