Everyone`s A Little Bit Racist Lyrics

Princeton:

Say, Kate, can I ask you a question?



Kate Monster:

Sure!



Princeton:

Well, you know Trekkie Monster upstairs?



Kate Monster:

Uh huh.



Princeton:

Well, he's Trekkie Monster, and you're Kate Monster.



Kate Monster:

Right.



Princeton:

You're both Monsters.



Kate Monster:

Yeah.



Princeton:

Are you two related?



Kate Monster:

What?! Princeton, I'm surprised at you! I find that racist!



Princeton:

Oh, well, I'm sorry! I was just asking!



Kate Monster:

Well, it's a touchy subject. 

No, not all Monsters are related. 

What are you trying say, huh? 

That we all look the same to you? 

Huh, huh, huh?



Princeton:

No, no, no, not at all. I'm sorry, 

I guess that was a little racist.



Kate Monster:

I should say so. You should be much more 

careful when you're talking about the

sensitive subject of race.



Princeton:

Well, look who's talking!



Kate Monster:

What do you mean?



Princeton:

What about that special Monster School you told me about?



Kate Monster:

What about it?



Princeton:

Could someone like me go there?



Kate Monster:

No, we don't want people like you-



Princeton:

You see?!



You're a little bit racist.



Kate Monster:

Well, you're a little bit too.



Princeton:

I guess we're both a little bit racist.



Kate Monster:

Admitting it is not an easy thing to do...



Princeton:

But I guess it's true.



Kate Monster:

Between me and you, 

I think



Both:

Everyone's a little bit racist

Sometimes.

Doesn't mean we go 

Around committing hate crimes.

Look around and you will find

No one's really color blind.

Maybe it's a fact

We all should face

Everyone makes judgments

Based on race.



Princeton:

Now not big judgments, like who to hire 

or who to buy a newspaper from - 



Kate Monster:

No!



Princeton:

No, just little judgments like thinking that Mexican 

busboys should learn to speak goddamn English!



Kate Monster:

Right!



Both:

Everyone's a little bit racist

Today.

So, everyone's a little bit racist

Okay!

Ethinic jokes might be uncouth,

But you laugh because

They're based on truth.

Don't take them as 

Personal attacks.

Everyone enjoys them - 

So relax!



Princeton:

All right, stop me if you've heard this one.



Kate Monster:

Okay!



Princeton:

There's a plan going down and there's only 

one paracute. And there's a rabbi, a priest...



Kate Monster:

And a black guy!



Gary Coleman:

Whatchoo talkin' 'bout Kate?



Kate Monster:

Uh...



Gary Coleman:

You were telling a black joke!



Princeton:

Well, sure, Gary, but lots of people tell black jokes.



Gary Coleman:

I don't.



Princeton:

Well, of course you don't - you're black! 

But I bet you tell Polack jokes, right?



Gary Coleman:

Well, sure I do. Those stupid Polacks!



Princeton:

Now, don't you think that's a little racist?



Gary Coleman:

Well, damn, I guess you're right.



Kate Monster:

You're a little bit racist.



Gary Coleman:

Well, you're a little bit too.



Princeton:

We're all a little bit racist.



Gary Coleman:

I think that I would

Have to agree with you.



Princeton/Kate Monster:

We're glad you do.



Gary Coleman:

It's sad but true!

Everyone's a little bit racist -



All right!



Kate Monster:

All right!



Princeton:

All right!



Gary Coleman:

All right!

Bigotry has never been

Exclusively white



All:

If we all could just admit

That we are racist a little bit,

Even though we all know

That it's wrong,

Maybe it would help us

Get along.



Princeton:

Oh, Christ do I feel good.



Gary Coleman:

Now there was a fine upstanding black man!



Princeton:

Who?



Gary Coleman:

Jesus Christ.



Kate Monster:

But, Gary, Jesus was white.



Gary Coleman:

No, Jesus was black.



Kate Monster:

No, Jesus was white.



Gary Coleman:

No, I'm pretty sure that Jesus was black-



Princeton:

Guys, guys...Jesus was Jewish!



Brian:

Hey guys, what are you laughing about?



Gary Coleman:

Racism!



Brian:

Cool.



Christmas Eve:

BRIAN! Come back here! 

You take out lecycuraburs!



Princeton:

What's that mean?



Brian:

Um, recyclables. 

Hey, don't laugh at her! 

How many languages do you speak?



Kate Monster:

Oh, come off it, Brian!

Everyone's a little bit racist.



Brian:

I'm not!



Princeton:

Oh no?



Brian:

Nope!



How many Oriental wives

Have you got?



Christmas Eve:

What? Brian!



Princeton:

Brian, buddy, where you been?

The term is Asian-American!



Christmas Eve:

I know you are no

Intending to be

But calling me Oriental - 

Offensive to me!



Brian:

I'm sorry, honey, I love you.



Christmas Eve:

And I love you.



Brian: 

But you're racist, too.



Christmas Eve:

Yes, I know.

The Jews have all

The money

And the whites have all

The power.

And I'm always in taxi-cab

With driver who no shower!



Princeton:

Me too!



Kate Monster:

Me too!



Gary Coleman:

I can't even get a taxi!



All:

Everyone's a little bit racist

It's true.

But everyone is just about

As racist as you!

If we all could just admit

That we are racist a little bit,

And everyone stopped being

So PC

Maybe we could live in - 

Harmony! 



Christmas Eve:

Evlyone's a ritter bit lacist!
