Kid Creole and The Coconuts
Young, Gifted And White
[Verse 1]
You see I'm hip, I'm legit, and I come from Copenhagen
I'm bold and I'm fit, do a whole lot of shakin'
And when I catch a groove that I like I can take it all night long
[Verse 2]
You see I'm made in the shade and you know my mission
I got accolades for my style and my vision
And when I get the mood, they know it's a mission all night long
[Chorus]
I'm young and I'm gifted
And in case you missed it
I'm white
(Say, what?)
I'm young and I'm gifted
And in case you missed it
I'm white
[Verse 3]
You see I'm in a big band, and on top of that I'm pretty
I play an event, people tell me that I'm witty
And when I make a move I can sing that diddy all night long
[Chorus]
I'm young and I'm gifted
And in case you missed it
I'm white
(Say, what?)
I'm young and I'm gifted
And in case you missed it
I'm white
[Bridge]
You see the music is my life
And I got that appetite
For the jazz and the soul and the rhythm and blues
And the rock and roll
[Verse 4]
I like Aretha, and Tina, I even like Shania
And Britney, and Whitney and even some Mariah
Queen Celine had a groove, [?] well maybe
I like Madonna, and Nora and even some Shakira
Ashante, Beyonce, Christina Aguilera
Well they tried something, they ain't got nothing on me
[Bridge]
You see the music is my life
And I got that appetite
For the jazz and the soul and the rhythm and blues
And the rock and roll
[Verse 5]
You see I'm pert and alert
And I got myself a posse
I'm free as a bird and I'm ready for the party
When I hit the stage you can bet I'm in the starring role
[Verse 1]
You see I'm hip, I'm legit, and I come from Copenhagen
I'm bold and I'm fit, do a whole lot of shakin'
And when I catch a groove that I like I can take it all night long
[Chorus]
I'm young and I'm gifted
And in case you missed it
I'm white
(Say, what?)
I'm young and I'm gifted
And in case you missed it
I'm white
[Outro]
I like Aretha, and Tina, I even like Shania
And Britney, and Whitney and even some Mariah
Queen Celine had a groove, [?] well maybe
I like Madonna, and Nora and even some Shakira
Ashante, Beyonce, Christina Aguilera
Well they tried something, they ain't got nothing on me
