Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to say at this time that Melba Liston is sitting here.
Why are you handing out tasters?
How about a nice taste for one of the greatest lady, I ain't going to, but I got to call her lady.
She wear dresses.
The greatest lady arranger in the whole history of the W.I.L. world.
Mademoiselle Melba Liston, stand up and take one, baby.
Ah, ah, ah.
Crazy.
Voila.
Last August, I made a record, and the title of this thing is called Something We Still Ain't Got.
We ain't got integration.
We got aqua, baseball, and places of art.
All the way.
Part of our lovely nation.
We got a new frontier, a man for the moon.
We ain't got integration.
There is the cook, the maid, the butler, too.
That's in our civilization.
We'll soon have pay TV for all of our homes.
We ain't got integration.
Folks should live in harmony.
That's what the good book said.
Before some practice.
What?
They preach.
They think they'd be better dead.
I know the time will come, and I hope it's soon when there'll be a revelation.
When folks can look at you and know it's not true.
We ain't got integration.
But ah-ha.
Say you rode all night on a dingy bus, and the driver announced rest station.
You can't leave until you get home.

If you keep your seat and don't think of nothing to eat, wouldn't you want you some integration?
Now take those people down in Alabama two years ago, caused a minor revelation.
They walked hand in hand for a whole long year.
But they got them some transportation integration.
And I suppose you had been denied the right to vote, or say any form of schooling.
Now you would have had to dig the United States Supreme Court for passing desegregation ruling.
Now take those Freedom Riders, they're pioneering every day for all of mankind's salvation.
And when they spend three months in a Mississippi jail, you know them cats want them some integration.
Our folks should live in harmony, that's what the good books say.
Before some practice what they preach, they think they'd be better dead.
I know the time will come, and I hope it's soon, when there'll be a revelation.
When folks can look at you and know it's not true, we ain't got integration.
Integration!
Thank you.
Merci.
