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 where ever we go
There is good and bad in ev'ryone,
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, ooh

We all know that people are the same where ever we go
There is good and bad in ev'ryone,
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 (repeat and fade)
