Clem Snide African Friend Lyrics

African Friend Lyrics

Your beautiful African friend

Next to him I look so white

So white that you turned away

And wanted me out of your sight



To be exotic and I did pretend

In the back yard to slowly undress

As you pull the twigs from my hair

That I'd put there myself, I confess



So come lay on the couch with me

'Cuz nature's too wild and free

Come lay on the couch

We don't have to work on our tans



A beautiful African man

Well, next to him, I felt so white

As white as a page in a book

That I'd read but still don't understand



So I joked of a forbidden fruit

As we argued into the night

In a city of tanning salons

And TV screens all shining bright



So come lay on the couch with me

'Cuz nature's too wild, it's too wild and free

Come lay on the couch

We don't have to work on our tans
