Millie Small - Melting Pot

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

Curly Latin kinkies
Mixed with yellow Chinkees
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

What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough to take the world and all its got
And keep it stirring for a hundred years or more
And turn out coffee coloured people by the score

Rabbis and the Friars
Vishnu's and the Gurus
You got the Beatles or the sun god
Well, it really doesn't matter what religion you choose
No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Making Lady Favor, oh Mrs. Graceful
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

What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough to take the world and all its got
And keep it stirring for a hundred years or more
And turn out coffee coloured people by the score

What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough to take the world and all its got
Keep it stirring for a hundred years or more
Turn out coffee coloured people by the score

Well, what we need
What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough, big enough, big enough
To take the world and all its got
Keep it stirring for a hundred years or more
Turn out coffee coloured people by the score..
