*from Blue Mink (1969)*
*CAPO 3rd FRET*
(Original Key: )
Intro:
, ,
Verse 1:
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.
Verse 2:
Curly Latin kinkies,
Mixed with yellow Chinkees,
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.
Chorus 1:
What we need is a great big melting pot,
Big e-nough to take the world and all it s got.
Keep it stirring for a hundred years or more,
And turn out coffee coloured people by the score.
Interlude:
Verse 3:
Rabbis and the friars, bishops and the gurus,
We got the Beatles, or the Sun God,
Well, it really doesn t matter,
What re-ligion you choose, no, no no, ooh.
Verse 4:
Mick and Lady Faithful,
Or... 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.
Chorus 2:
What we need is a great big melting pot,
Big e-nough to take the world and all it s got.
Keep it stirring for a hundred years or more,
And turn out coffee coloured people by the score.
Chorus 3:
What we need is a great big melting pot,
Big e-nough, big enough, big e-nough,
To take the world and all it s got.
Keep it stirring for a hundred years or more,
And turn out coffee coloured people by the score.
(Repeat to Fade)
