She was black as the night
Louie was whiter than white
Danger, danger when you taste brown sugar
Louie fell in love over night

    Spooks and Ghosts. I never heard of that before. I don't know which is which. That's crazy. At least they are cut from the same cloth and celebrate Halloween.

    brat Ludwika. ale którego ? króla Francji ? w kazdym bądź razie piosenka ta z lat siedemdziesiątych XX stulecia pieknie się zapisała w annałach historii muzyki rozrywkowej.

    Under-appreciated tune dealing with racism and intermarriage. Not too shabby.
