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
