SEAWEED
Listen man you ain't gotta stop now. My mom is hosting a platter party up on North Avenue. Wanna come "check it out"?

TRACY
Now?

PENNY
Would you mind if i to "check it out?I've never been to North Avenue before!

LINK
Ya think it'll be all right for, you know... us?

SEAWEED
Calm down, cracker boy! It's cool

PENNY
Being invited places by colored people!

TRACY
It feels so hip!

SEAWEED
I'm glad you feel that way, cause uh not many people do.

I can't see
Why people look at me
And only see the color of my face

And then there's those
That try to help, god knows
But always have to put me in my place

Now i won't ask you to be color blind
'Cause if you pick the fruit
Then girl, you're sure to find...

The blacker the berry
The sweeter the juice
I could say it ain't so
But darlin', what's the use?

The darker the chocolate
The richer the taste
And that's where it's at...
...now run and tell that!!

ENSEMBLE
Run and tell that!

SEAWEED
Run and tell that!

ENSEMBLE
Run and tell that!

SEAWEED (--And ENSEMBLE--)
I can't see
Why people disagree
Each time i tell them what i know is true

And if you come
And see the world I'm from
I bet your heart is gonna feel it too

Yeah. I could lie
But baby. Let's be bold
Vanilla can be nice
But if the truth be told...

The blacker the berry
The sweeter the juice
I could say it ain't so
But darlin', what's the use

The darker the chocolate
The richer the taste
That's where it's at

Now run and tell that!!

ENSEMBLE
Run and tell that!

(scene taken to bus stop in front of school)

SEAWEED
Come here, girl. This is MY sister, L'il Inez.

L'IL INEZ
Oh, I know Tracy Turnblad. Good for you, girl, you got on the show!

TRACY
Well, you better be next.

LI'L INEZ
You got that right.

SEAWEED
Oh, you know she is. You better show 'em girl!

LI'L INEZ
I'm tired of coverin' up all my pride

SEAWEED And ENSEMBLE
So give me a five on the black-hand side

LI'L INEZ
I've got a new way of movin'
And i got my own voice

SEAWEED And ENSEMBLE
So how can i help
But to shout and rejoice

LI'L INEZ
The people 'round here
Can barely pay their rent
They're "try'n to make dollar
Out 'a fifteen cent"
But we got a spirit
Money just cant buy

L'IL INEZ And ENSEMBLE
It's deep as a river
And soars to the sky, to the sky!

SEAWEED And ENSEMBLE
I cant see
The reason it cant be
The kinda world where we all get our chance

The time is now
And we can show them how
To turn the music up and let's all dance

'Cause all things are equal
When it comes to love
Well, that ain't quite true
'Cause when push comes to shove...

The blacker the berry
The sweeter the juice
I could say it ain't so

But darlin', what's the use
The darker the chocolate
The richer the taste
That's where it's at, now baby baby baby!
SEAWEED
... run and tell that!!

ENSEMBLE
Run and tell that!

SEAWEED
Run and tell that!!
