	One of the universe's little mysteries. This song spent some weeks at number one, which seems to imply that a lot of people loved it, but I have yet to find anyone who admits to it.	Bruce Beatlefan	June 10, 2006

Lyrics

Ebony and ivory,
Live together in perfect harmony,
Side by side on my piano keyboard,
Oh, lord, why don't we?

We all know that people are the same wherever you go,
There is good and bad in ev'ryone.
And we learn to live, we learn to give each other
What we need to survive, together alive.

Ebony and ivory,
Live together in perfect harmony,
Side by side on my piano keyboard,
Oh, lord, why don't we?

Ebony, ivory,
Living in perfect harmony.
Ebony, ivory.

Ooh -

We all know that people are the same wherever you go,
There is good and bad, mm-mm, in ev'ryone.
We learn to live when we learn to give each other
What we need to survive, together alive.

Ebony and ivory,
Live together in perfect harmony,
Side by side on my piano keyboard,
Oh, lord, why don't we?
Side by side on my piano keyboard,
Oh, lord, why don't we-ee-ee-ee, we?

Ebony, ivory, living in perfect harmony
Ebony, ivory, are living in perfect harmony.
Ebony, ivory,
Living in perfect harmony.
Ebony, ivory,
Living in perfect harmony.
Ebony, ivory,
Living in perfect harmony.

Ebony, ivory,
Living in perfect harmony.
