Some children are brown like newly baked bread
Some are yellow, and some are red,
Some children are black, there are White ones too--
The colors are different--the children like you!
Some children eat noodles, and some eat figs,
Some children like ice cream, and some roast pigs;
Some eat raw fishes, and some fish stew--
Their likings are different--the children like you.
Some children say yes and some say "Si",
Some say "wow!" and some say "naku!"
Their words may be different--the children like you.
Some live in huts of grass and bamboos,
Some live in boats, and some in igloos;
Some live in old houses and some live in new--
Their homes may be different--the children like you.
Some children are Finnish and some from Japan,
Some from Brazil and some from Sudan,
Some know bad weather or skies always blue--
The countries are different--the children like you.
Oh, if they could dance and if they could play
Altogether together a wonderful day!
Some could come sailing and some could just hike!
So much would be different--the children alike!
