|
Take a pinch of white man |
|
Wrap it up in black skin |
|
Add a touch of blue blood |
|
And a little bitty bit of Red Indian boy |
|
Ooh Curly Latin kinkies |
|
Mixed with yellow Chinkies |
|
If you lump it all together |
|
Well you got a recipe for a get along scene |
|
Oh what a beautiful dream |
|
If it could only come true, you know, you know |
|
Chorus |
|
What we need is a great big melting pot |
|
Big 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 |
|
Yeah Lord |
|
Rabbis and the friars |
|
Bishops and the Gurus |
|
You got the Beatles or the Sun God (it's true) |
|
Well it really doesn't matter what religion you choose |
|
No No No Ooh |
|
Mick and Lady Faithful |
|
Ohh and Mrs. Graceful |
|
You know that livin' could be tasteful |
|
Aaah We should all get together in a loving machine |
|
I better 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 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 |
|
Repeat chorus to fade |
