Mohammed my friend

it's time to tell the world

we both know it was a girl

back in Bethlehem

and on that fateful day

when she was crucified

she wore Shiseido red

and we drank tea by her side



sweet sweet sweet

used to be so sweet to me



Mohammed my friend

I'm getting very scared

teach me how to love

my brothers who don't know the law

and what about the deal

on the flying trapeze

got a peanut butter hand

but honey do drop in

at the 'Dew Drop Inn'



sweet sweet sweet

between the boys and the bees

sweet sweet sweet

between the boys and the bees



Moses I know

I know you've seen fire

but you never seen fire

until you've seen Pele blow

and I never seen light

but I sure have seen gold

and Gladys save a place for me on your grapevine

until I get my own on a TV show



Ashre ashre ashre ashre

and if I lose my crackerjacks

at the tidal wave

I got a place in the pope's

rubber robe



Mohammed my friend

it's time to tell the world

we both know it was a girl

back in Bethlehem

we both know it was a girl

back in Bethlehem

we both know it was a girl

back in Bethlehem
