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
