Muhammad my friend

it's time to tell the world

we both know it was a girl back in Bethelem

and on that fateful day

when she was crucified

she wore Shiseido Red and we drank tea

by her side



sweet sweet

used to be so sweet to me



Muhammad 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

between the boys and the bees



and Moses I know

I know you've seen fire

but you've never seen fire

until you've seen Pele blow

and I've never seen light

but I sure have seen gold

and Gladys save a place for me

on your grapevine

till I get my own TV show



ashre ashre ashre ashre

and if I lose my Cracker Jacks at the

tidal wave I got a place

in the Pope's rubber robe

Muhammad my friend

It's time to tell the world

we both know it was a girl

back in Bethelem
