Melting Pot

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 Latin kinkies

Mixed with yellow Chinkees

If you lump it all together

Well, you 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

And keep it stirring for a hundred years or more

And turn out coffee colored people by the score

Rabbis and the Friars

Vishnus and the Gurus

You got the Beatles or the Sun God, it's true

Well, it really doesn't matter what religion you choose

No, no no

Making Lady Favor

Mrs. Graceful

You know that livin' could be tasteful

We should all get together in a lovin' machine

I better call up the Queen

It's only fair that she knows, you know, you know

What we need is a great big melting pot

Big enough to take the world and all it's got

And keep it stirring for a hundred years or more

And turn out coffee colored people by the score

What we need, what we need is a great big melting pot

Big enough, big enough, big enough

To take the world and all it's got

And keep it stirring for a hundred years or more

And turn out coffee colored people by the score

What we need is a great big melting pot

Big enough, big enough, big enough

To take the world and all it's got

And keep it stirring for a hundred years or more

And turn out coffee colored people by the score

What we need is a great big melting pot

Big enough, big enough, big enough

To take the world and all it's got

Keep it stirring for a hundred years or more
