Lyrics

Melting Pot

Take a pinch of one man

Wrap him up in suntan

Add a touch of blue blood

And a little bitty bit of

Whatever you choose

Curly black and kinky

Mix it with love and let's see

If you lump it altogether

Well you've 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

Keep it stiring for a hundred years or more

Turn out coffee colored people

By the score

Yeah...no

Mick and Lady Faithful

And everyone who's graceful

You know the living could be tasteful

And we should all get together

In a mixing machine

Yeah yeah yeah

The poorest and the wealthy

Weakest and the healthy

If you lump it all together

Well you gotta recipe

For a get along scene

I'd better call up the Queen

It's only fair that she know

You know you know...

CHORUS to fade
