Melting Pot

...MELTING POT... by Blue Mink

*from 'Blue Mink' (1969)*

(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.
