You Are What You Is - Live At Mudd Club, NYC, May 8, 1980

One, two!
 ♪
 Do you know what you are?
 You are what you is
 You is what you am
 A cow don't make ham
 You ain't what you're not
 So, see what you got
 You are what you is
 And that's all it is
 A foolish young man
 From a middle class family
 Started singing the blues
 'Cause he thought it was manly
 Now he talks like the Kingfish (Safie!)
 From Amos 'n' Andy
 (Holy mack'l dere, holy mack'l dere!)
 He tells you that chitlins
 Well, they taste just like candy
 He thinks that he's got
 The whole thing down
 From the Nivea Lotion
 To the Royal Crown
 Do you know what you are?
 You are what you is
 You is what you am
 A cow don't make ham
 You ain't what you're not
 So, see what you got
 You are what you is
 And that's all it is
 A foolish young man
 Of the Negro persuasion
 Devoted his life
 To become a Caucasian
 He stopped eating pork
 He stopped eating greens
 He traded his dashiki (Uhuru!)
 For some Jordache jeans
 He learned to play golf
 And got a good score
 Now he says to himself
 "I ain't no nigger no more!" (Hey! Hey! Hey!)
 Do you know what you are?
 You are what you is
 You is what you am
 A cow don't make ham
 You ain't what you're not
 So, see what you got
 You are what you is
 And that's all it is
 You are what you is (no more)
 And that's all it is (no more)
 You are what you is (no more)
 And that's all it is (no more)
 You are what you is (no more)
 And that's all it is (no more)
 Alright, bring, bring the band on down behind me, boys
 Alright, listen, this is also
 It is also possible to dance to this if you use your imagination
 The name of this song is: "You Didn't Try to Call Me"
