Melting Pot
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Take a little bit of white man
Wrap him up in black skin
Then you add a touch of blue blood
And a little bitty bit of red indian boy
Ooh, ooh, ooh, Latin curly kinkies
Mm-hmm, mixed with yellow chinkees
If you lump them all together
Well, you got a recipe for a get along scene
What a beautiful dream
You know, you know, 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
Turn out coffee coloured people by the score
Oooo...
Rabbis and the friars
Ahhh, the bishops and the gurus
You got the beatles and the sun god
Well, it really doesn't matter what religion you choose
No, no, no
Ooh, ooh, ooh, make a lady faithful
Mm-mm, men and women graceful
You know that livin' could be tasteful
We should all get together in lovin' machine
Don't you know what I mean?
You know, you know, 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
Turn out coffee coloured people by the score
Oooo...
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
Turn out coffee coloured people by the score
Ohh, yeah, what we need
What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough, big enough
Big enough to take the world and what it's got
And keep it stirring for a hundred years or more...
