Story Behind The Song

True story. I live in Galapagos and my gringo white skin turns red from the ecuatorial sun. My nickname is "el colorado"...the colored man

Song Description

Light hearted song about a white man who lives on a tropical island and is burned red by the sun...thus his nickname "el colorado" or the colored man. Upbeat and good natured with a whistling solo...Not to be missed.

Lyrics

People in my village on my island down the street
Have a name they like to call me everytime we meet.
The sun has burned ny snow-white skin a ruby, Rudolph red,
And everytime they'd see me coming, this what they said:

Here comes that colored man. There he is walking down the street.
Here comes that colored man. Wish he'd put some shoes on them big feet.
Here comes that colored man. Lord, that brother sure could use a tan.
Let's all have pity on that funny colored man.

His bloodshot eyes are algae green and just can't seem to stand
All the solar radiance reflecting off the sand.
He's got a patch of yellow hair that sits on top his head
And underneath a big old nose that glows fire engine red!

Here comes that colored man. There he is walking down the street.
Here comes that colored man. Wish he'd put some shoes on them big feet.
Here comes that colored man. Lord, that brother sure could use a tan.
Let's all have pity on that funny colored man.

I guess we ought to try and treat him with all due respect
Cause the good lord seem's to have made him with this strange defect.
Obviously he wasn't built to handle all the heat.
Let's take it on ourselves to help him find some food to eat.

Here comes that colored man. There he is walking down the street.
Here comes that colored man. Wish he'd put some shoes on them big feet.
Here comes that colored man. Lord, that brother sure could use a tan.
Let's all have pity on that funny colored man.
