A stranger`s a friend 
You just don`t know 
With a shake of the hand 
We could give it a go 
I look kinda pale 
They call me gringo 
You got funny hair 
They call you negro 

Under the skin say we`re all the same 
How come when I turn my back 
You call me funny names 
How come when I turn my back 
You call me funny names 
Funny names 

I`m not like you 
You`re not like me 
Don`t think that will ever change 
It`s obvious to see 
You`re not like me 
I`m not like you 
Don`t mean that we can`t get along 
And like each other too 

`Cos under the skin say we`re all the same 
How come when I turn my back 
You call me funny names 
How come when I turn my back 
You call me funny names 
Funny names 

Recognise the difference 
Give thanks we ain`t the same 
Variety`s the spice of life 
Hey fella what`s your name 
Some live in the city 
Some come from ghettoes 
Eat funny food 
Speak funny lingo 
Yes a stranger`s a friend 
You just don`t know 
Forever by your side 
Just like a shadow 

`Cos under the skin say we`re all the same 
How come when I turn my back 
You call me funny names 
How come when I turn my back 
You call me funny names 
Funny names 
How come you call me funny names 
Funny names
