What You Is |
| You might have been a villain |
| With a capital V |
| You might have had a plane to catch |
| And left your family |
| It doesn’t matter what you was |
| It’s what you is |
| And what you is |
| Is what you are |
| You might have been a midwife |
| Trying to help somebody in |
| You might have been a Cardinal |
| With an A to Zed of skin |
| Open up your window… |
| …honey let me in |
| You might have been Columbia |
| Releasing orange 45s |
| (Hot As Steeeeeeeel) |
| You might have been the empress bee |
| In her furry little hive |
| (Buzz Buzz) |
| All the other bees: |
| It doesn’t matter what you was |
| It’s what you is |
| And what you is |
| Is what you are |
| Well you’ve got to come from somewhere |
| But you don’t have to go back there… |
| …anymore |
| Hey! |
| You might have been the police |
| Knock knock knocking at the door |
| You might have been a nice young man |
| On a nice young floor |
| It doesn’t matter what you was |
| It’s what you is |
| And what you is |
| Is what you are |
| One more, yeah |
| It doesn’t matter what you was |
| Or what you is |
| And what you is |
| Is what you are |
| You might be looking innocent |
| Mmmm… deep inside you’re not |
| You might be feeling guilty |
| Just a little not a lot |
| It doesn’t matter what you was |
| It’s what you is |
| And what you is |
| Is what you are |
| Yeah! |
| Hey… hey, hey |
| Hey… hey, hey |
| Hey… hey, hey |
| Hey, hey |
