Melting Pot - The Three Degrees

Take a little bit of white man

Wrap him up in black skin

Then you add a touch of blue blood

And a little bitty bit of red indian boy

Ooh, ooh, ooh, Latin curly kinkies

Mm-hmm, mixed with yellow chinkees

If you lump them all together

Well, you got a recipe for a get along scene

What a beautiful dream

You know, you know, you know, you know

What we need is a great big melting pot

Big enough to take the world and all it’s got

And keep it stirring for a hundred years or more

Turn out coffee coloured people by the score

Oooo…

Rabbis and the friars

Ahhh, the bishops and the gurus

You got the beatles and the sun god

Well, it really doesn’t matter what religion you choose

No, no, no Ooh, ooh, ooh, make a lady faithful

Mm-mm, men and women graceful

You know that livin' could be tasteful

We should all get together in lovin' machine

Don’t you know what I mean?

You know, you know, you know, you know

What we need is a great big melting pot

Big enough to take the world and all it’s got

And keep it stirring for a hundred years or more

Turn out coffee coloured people by the score

Oooo…

What we need is a great big melting pot

Big enough to take the world and all it’s got

And keep it stirring for a hundred years or more

Turn out coffee coloured people by the score

Ohh, yeah, what we need

What we need is a great big melting pot

Big enough, big enough

Big enough to take the world and what it’s got

And keep it stirring for a hundred years or more…
