Take a pinch of one man
Wrap him up in black skin
Add a touch of blue blood
And a little bitty bit of
Red Indian boy

Curly black and kinky
Oriental sexy
If you lump it all together
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

Brothers and the friars
Bishops and the gurus

We had the Beatles and the Sun Gods
A long time ago (it´s true)
But then it didn´t really matter
What religion you choose
No no no...

Mick and Lady Faithful
And everyone who´s graceful
You know the living could be tasteful
Why don´t we all get together
In a loving machine
I´d 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

Keep it stiring for a hundred years or more
Turn out coffee colored people
By the score
