STEVIE WONDER & PAUL MCCARTNEY - EBONY & IVORY LYRICS

This song was written by Paul McCartney and performed by both he and Stevie Wonder.


"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 where ever you go
there is good and bad in everyone
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 oh..

We all know that people are the same where ever you go
there is good and bad in everyone
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?"

When this song came out it was very popular. I think mostly because of the artists that were involved.

The words that I want you to think about are:

ARTISTS
EBONY
IVORY
KEYBOARD
HARMONY
SURVIVE

Also who is Paul McCartney, and did he ever work with any other musicians?
