 Send Hairspray soundtrack "Run And Tell That!" Ringtones to your Cell  SEAWEED Hey Tracy, my mom is hosting a platter party up on North Avenue. Wanna 'check it out'? PENNY May i also 'check it out? SEAWEED Oh, you surely may! TRACY I've never been to North Avenue! LINK Ya think it'll be all right for, you know... us? SEAWEED It's cool, cracker boy! PENNY Being invited places by colored people! TRACY It feels so hip! SEAWEED I'm glad you feel that way, friends, 'cause not everybody does. I can't see Why people look at me And only see the color of my face And then there's those That try to help, god knows But have to always put me in my place Now i won't ask you to be color blind 'Cause if you pick the fruit Then girl, you're sure to find... The blacker the berry The sweeter the juice I could say it ain't so But darlin', what's the use? The darker the chocolate The richer the taste And that's where it's at... ...now run and tell that!! ENSEMBLE Run and tell that! SEAWEED Run and tell that! ENSEMBLE Run and tell that! SEAWEED (& ENSEMBLE) I can't see Why people disagree Each time i tell them what i know is true And if you come And see the world i'm from 1 bet your heart is gonna feel it too Yeah. I could lie But baby. Let's be bold Vanillajian be nice But if the truth be told... The blacker the berry The sweeter the juice I could say it ain't so But darlin', what's the use The darker the chocolate The richer the taste That's where it's at Now run and tell that!! ENSEMBLE Run and tell that! (The scene shifts to Motormouth Maybelle's record shop dance party where her daughter Li'l Inez and her friends are already in full swing.) LI'L INEZ Hey, you're Tracy Turnblad! You're my favorite dancer on the Corny Collins Show. SEAWEED This is my sister, Li'l Inez. TRACY Sure. I saw you at the auditions. LI'L INEZ Well, you're the only one who did, 'cause they kicked me out on my young, gifted and black behind. SEAWEED Tell 'em about it! LI'L INEZ I'm tired of coverin' up all my pride SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE So give me five on the black-hand side LI'L INEZ I've got a new way of movin' And i got my own voice SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE So how can i help But to shout and rejoice LI'L INEZ The people 'round here Can barely pay their rent They're 'try'n to make dollar Out 'a fifteen cent' But we got a spirit Money just cant buy LI'L INEZ & ENSEMBLE It's deep as a river And soars to the sky!! SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE I cant see The reason it cant be The kinda world where we all get our chance The time is now And we can show them how To turn the music up and let's all dance 'Cause all things are equal When it comes to love Well, that ain't quite true 'Cause when push comes to shove... The blacker the berry The sweeter the juice I could say it ain't so But darlin', what's the use The darker the chocolate The richer the taste That's where it's at SEAWEED ...Now run and tell that!! ENSEMBLE Run and tell that! SEAWEED Run and tell that!! |
