Lyrics:
The ink is blackThe page is whiteTogether we learnTo read and writeTo read and writeThe slate is blackThe chalk is whiteThe words stand outSo clear and brightSo clear and brightA child is blackA child is whiteThe whole world looksUp on the sightA beautiful sightAnd now a childCan understandThis is the lawOf all the landAII the landAnd now at lastWe plainly seeThe alphabetOf LibertyLibertyA child is blackA child is whiteThe whole world looksUp on this sightThe world is blackThe world is whiteIt turns by dayAnd then by nightIt turns by night
