[Intro: Dick Smothers and Tom Smothers]
We'd like to do a song about a very beautiful — woman
This song is very — very exciting and I think very poignant. It's an old folk song about — two hundred and fifty years old, maybe even older. [?]—
What's — what song are we doing?
What was the song about?
I said it was a song about a young lady and it's a very poignant song. You know what poignant means, don't you?
I certainly don't. I don't want to sound ignorant but feign —what's you tell me
Well, Tom, you don't have to s— d— y' know be ashamed of yourself
Oh
For not knowing what uh
I certainly
Poignant means, there are many people who don't
Certainly feel ashamed
Know the true meaning of poignant
I don't—
Don't be ashamed
There's a lot of people who don't know the true mean— meaning of poi—
Listen my little ethnic brother Tommy, Don't feel bad
Well I feel horrible
No. I will tell you now what poignant means
Pray, tell what poignant means
Poignant you may say means, you know — in simple terms, so you'll understand — poignant means—
What does that mean?
Poign—
What kind of — forked-tongued remark is that?
Oh no, you misunderstood me, Tom, I want to make it very plain so that you will understand. Poignant means—
Poison
Pregnant with feeling
Means what?
Pregnant with feeling
Oh. Yeah?
That's right
How 'bout that? Heh heh heh heh
We'd like to do a very exciting and beautiful song — 'bout a girl who's six months poignant
[Verse: Both]
Black
Black
Black is the color of my true love's hair

[Verse: Dick]
Black is the color of my love's true hair
Though her dresses are red as a rose
Black the color of my love's true hair

[Outro: Dick, Tom and Both]
But only her hairdresser knows
Does she or doesn't she?
Only her hairdresser knows
