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 metter

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 knou



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

Turn out coffee colored people

By the score

Yeah...no
