Take a pinch of white man
Wrap it up in black skin
Add a touch of blue blood
And a little bitty bit of red Indian boy
Hmmmm Curly black and kinkies
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 coloured people by the score

Rabbis and the friars
Bishops and the gurus
You got the Beatles or the Sun God
Well it really doesn't matter what religion you choose
No, no, no,
Mick and lady Faithful
Oh, oooooh, and mrs Graceful
You know that livin' could be tasteful
Aaaaah, We should all get together in a lovin 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
And keep it stirring for a hundred years or more
And turn out coffee coloured people by the score

Yeahhhhhhh
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 coloured people by the score

Yeahhhhhhh
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 coloured people by the score
