PPD – Not for Me!
lyrics by Olena Wilshanetsky
sung to the tune of “Mary Had a Little Lamb”

by workshop participants at the Boys and Girls Club of Pawtucket, RI
led by Heather Caunt-Nulton


Is it made with PPD?
Not for me!
Not for me!
Black is made with PPD
and it can burn my skin.

Henna should be deep rich brown
Only brown
Pretty brown
If you say it’s black not brown
It’s not good for me!

Please don’t give me PPD
Not for me!
Not for me!
PPD is bad for me
I like my henna brown!
