<!Take a pinch of white man |
|
Wrap him up in black skin |
|
Add a touch of blue blood |
|
And a little bitty bit of red Indian boy |
|
Oh like a Curly Latin kinkies |
|
Oh Lordy, Lordy, mixed with yellow Chinkees, yeah |
|
You know you lump it all together |
|
And you got a recipe for a get along scene |
|
Oh what a beautiful dream |
|
If it could only come true, you know, you know |
|
What we need is a great big melting pot |
|
Big enough enough enough to take |
|
The world and all its got And keep it stirring for a hundred years or more |
|
And turn out coffee coloured people by the score |
|
Rabbis and the friars |
|
Vishnus and the gurus |
|
We got the Beatles or the Sun God |
|
Well it really doesn't matter what religion you choose |
|
And be thankful little Mrs. Graceful |
|
You know that livin' could be tasteful |
|
We should all get together in a lovin machine |
|
I think I'll call up the queen |
|
It' s only fair that she knows, you know, you know |
|
What we need is a great big melting pot |
|
Big enough enough enough to take |
|
The world and all its got And keep it stirring for a hundred years or more |
|
And turn out coffee coloured people by the score |
