Colour of Me

Colour of Me is a Sesame Street song about skin color, in which various brown-skinned characters think of things with positive traits that are the same shade of brown as their skin.

Lyrics
All: Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa, whoa, oh, oh, oh.

Leela: Some skin is dark.

Chris: Some skin is light.

Mando: Some skin is brown.

Leela: Some skin is white.

Chris: Different colours.

Mando: Different shades.

Leela: It's part of being human.

It's how we're made.

My skin is a light, light brown just like caramel.

And caramel, it tastes so sweet.

Just try it and you'll tell.

So brown is sweet, and I am sweet.

Sweet as I can be.

I love my skin, love my brown skin.

Light brown, that's the colour of me.

All: Whoa, whoa, oh, oh, oh.

Mando: My skin, it is a sandy brown.

It's like the lion's mane.

And lions you know they're so proud to be because lions reign.

So brown is proud and I am proud, proud as I can be.

I love my skin, love my brown skin.

Sandy brown, that's the colour of me.

All: Whoa, whoa, oh, oh, oh.

Chis: My skin it is a deep, deep brown.

It's like a walnut tree and trees, they grow up big and strong, you really must agree.

So brown is strong.

And I am strong, strong as I can be.

I love my skin, love my brown skin.

Deep brown, that's the colour of me.

Leela: That's what I am.

Chris: It's what you see.

Mando: Want to show the world.

All: That how the world sees me.

Segi: My skin it is a dark, dark brown.

It's like a chestnut horse.

Horses are so beautiful, you know that's true, of course.

So brown is beautiful and I am beautiful, as beautiful as can be.

I love my skin, love my brown skin.

Dark brown, that's the colour of me.

All: That's the colour of me.

That's the colour of me.

That's the colour of me.

That's the colour of me.

That's the colour of me.
