MELTING POT (ORIGINAL VERSION)



Take a pinch of white man

Wrap him 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 stiring for a hundred years or more

Turning out coffee-colored people by the score



Rappers in the fires

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 Faithful

and everyone who's graceful

You know the living could be tasteful

Why don't we all get together in a lovin' machine

I'd better call up the Queen

It's only fair that she know

You know, you know..



CHORUS X 2 (to fade)
