You had some sweet sound
Didn't you Billlie, didn't you Billie
Got to cry out loud
Didn't you Billlie, didn't you Billie
In nightclub's smoke-filled haze
Wasn't it Billie, wasn't it Billie
Segregation's day
Wasn't it Billie, wasn't it Billie
But in the here and now I'll say
I've got respect for Billie Holiday
Insistent on your style
Wasn't you Billie, wasn't you Billie
Strange fruit from a stubborn child
Wasn't you Billie, wasn't you Billie
But your integrity held out
Didn't it Billie, didn't it Billie
Through a lifelong fight with doubt
Wasn't it Billie, wasn't it Billie
So in the here and now I'll say
I've got respect for Billie Holiday
