White Boy - Michael Friedman, Brian Tyree Henry, Rebecca Naomi Jones

The flood is over

The land is dry

Why do you wear your pants so high?

White boy

White boy

You buy comics

Put them in plastic

Spiderman, Thor, and the Fantastic Four

But when things start getting drastic

Torch and Thing are not doing anything for you

You try to lead a life monastic

You try to focus on things scholastic

And when it’s time for anything gymnastic

Hide, hide

'Cause gym is certain suicide

Play that funky music, white boy

Play that funky music right

Play that funky music, white boy

Lay down the boogie and play that funky music till you die

The other kids might call you spastic

Just develop a facade sarcastic

And never seem too enthusiastic

'Cause anything you love

You know you’ll just be robbed of

On this block, the thing that’s exotic is you

Type A, the nerdy neurotic Jew

You’ll never dress in age-appropriate clothing

You’ll never suppress your ingrained self-loathing

You start to guess that your parents won’t save you

You learn in chess what your parents never gave you

Wait… wait…and bingo checkmate!

Play that funky music, white boy

Play that funky music right

Play that funky music, white boy

Hava nagila

Hava nagila

Hava nagila, la la la

Lay down the boogie and play that funky music till you die

The flood is over

The land is dry

Why do you wear your pants so high?
