Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hello daddy
Hello baby, how is my love child?
Fine
Tell me, of all your dreams
What most do you hope to be when you become a big girl?
Daddy, I would like to be Miss black America
[Verse 2]
Hurryin'-ly steppin' so proud
Mother natures only god child
Society salutes you today
And we'd like to say
[Verse 3]
God bless Miss Black America
Watch over Miss Black America
She cried tears of success, we wish her long happiness
Miss Black America
[Verse 4]
Sisters, we're all so very proud
Of that natural look we see among the crowd
World wide admiration
From nation to nation
[Verse 5]
They love you, Miss Black America
We love you too, Miss Black America
You're such wonderful people, and so beautifully equal
Miss Black America
[Verse 6]
A culture no one can deny
If a young child should ask, then tell them why
They should not be ashamed
Of their past, just explain
[Verse 7]
The true mother is black America
None other than Miss Black America
She cried tears of success, we wish her long happiness
Miss Black America
[Verse 8]
Miss Black America
We're so proud of you, Miss Black America
Miss Black America
[Verse 9]
I'm so proud, I'm so proud, Miss Black America
Miss Black America
Miss Black America
Miss Black America
