Melting Pot

Big enough now
And we gonna keep stirring, stirring
Big enough now

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, black and kinky
Oriental sexy
If you lump it all together
Well, you've 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 it's got
Keep it stirring for a hundred years or more
Turning out coffee colored people by the score

Rabbis and the friars
Bishops and the gurus
We had the Beatles and the Sun Gods
A long time ago, it's true

But then it didn't really matter
What religion you choose
No, no, no

Mick and Lady Faithful
Lord and Mrs. Graceful
You know the living could be tasteful

Why don't we all get together
In a loving 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 it's got
Keep it stirring for a hundred years or more
Turning out coffee colored people by the score

What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough, big enough, big enough
To take the world and all it's got
Keep it stirring for a hundred years or more
Turning out coffee colored people by the score

What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough, big enough, big enough
To take the world and all it's got
Keep it stirring for a hundred years or more
Turning out coffee colored people by the score
