Melting Pot

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
Curly Latin
kinkies
mixed with yellow
Chinkees
If you lump it all
together well you
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 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
We got the Beatles
or the Sun God
Well it really doesn't matter
what religion you choose
no, no-no

Mmm, making
Lady faithful Lord,
and Mrs Graceful

You know that livin'
could be tasteful,
we should all get
together in a lovin�
machine

I�d 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

Yeah, what we need is a
