Melting Pot Lyrics

...MELTING POT... by Blue Mink
*from 'Blue Mink' (1969)*
*CAPO 3rd FRET*
(Original Key: F)
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 Faithfull,
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)
