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
Mmm
Curly black and king kids
Mix with yellow chink kids
If you lump it all together
Well you've got a recipe
for a get along scene
Ah 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 change
the world and all it's got
Each keep it stirring
for a hundred years or more
And turn out coffee coloured
people by the score
Yeah..
Lord hear our prayer
Mmmm
Brothers and the friars
Bishops and the gurus
You've got the Beatles
and the sun god
It's true
Well it really doesn't matter
what religion you choose
Ooh, Mick and Lady Faithfull
Uhh.....
The heart of Mrs Graceful
You know the living
could be tasteful
Ah..., we should
all get together
in a lovin' machine
I'd better call up the Queen
It's only fair she knows
you know
What we need is
a great big melting pot
Big enough to change
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
Yeah...
What we need
What we need is a
great big melting pot
Big enough, big enough
big enough, to change
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
Yeah., yeah
What we need
What we need is a

Big enough, big enough

And keep it stirring

And turn out coffee coloured
people by the score
Well, yeah, yeah
What we need is
a great big melting pot
