Young, Gifted and White - Kid Creole And The Coconuts

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
