Melting Pot

                                  Take a pinch of one man 

Wrap him up in black skin 

Add a touch of blue blood 

And a little bitty bit of Indian boy 



Curly black and kinky 

Oriental and 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 

Turn out coffee colored people 

By the score 



Rabbi 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 really didn't matter 

What religion you choose no,no,no 



Mick and Lady Faithfull 

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 

Turn out coffee colored people 

By the score 

Yeah, no
