Muhammad 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, well



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, sweet

Between the boys and the bees



Sweet, 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, honey, 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, honey, rubber robe

Muhammad my friend, it's time to tell the world

We both know it was a girl back in Bethlehem
