Boyzone - Melting Pot Lyrics






Take a pinch of one man
Wrap him up in suntan
Add a touch of blue blood
And a little bitty bit of
whatever you choose
Curly black and kinky
Mix it with love and let's see
If you lump it altogether
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...

What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough to take the world
and all it's got
Keep it stiring for a hundred years or more
Turn out coffee colored people
by the score
Yeah...no

Mick and Lady Faithful
And everyone who's graceful
You know the living could be tasteful
And we should all get together
in a mixing machine
Yeah yeah yeah

The poorest and the wealthy
Weakest and the healthy
If you lump it all together
Well you gotta recipe
for a get along scene
I'd better call up the Queen
It's only fair that she know
you know you know...

[CHORUS to fade]

    we had the beatles a long time ago, but
    we still have their timeless music.

    The original version from 1970 by Blue Mink hasn't aged well from the terminology perspective but back then it was an on point reference to the society we were living in just a few steps outwith the metropolitan London influence. The 'get along scene' reference was always the honourable aim of the song. Madeline Bell gave the whole thing such class too. Fair go at an update.

    "Oriental sexy". Yeah, that's more appropriate than the original line...

  12. a.... m....

    love this song...

  13. S.... A....

    that's what i m calling Fantastical song :)

  14. N.... N....

    Noticed they changed the words so that this song wouldn't offend!!!  Those who know the song will know what the original lyric to 'Oriental sexy' was!  I wonder whether its a good thing to do this so that a song is still acceptable or whether this airbrushes history a bit?  Nice song though!  Nice sentiment.

    N.... N....

    +Nuarda Nuarda why would anyone find a song about getting rid of racism offensive,

    N.... N....

    Nuarda Nuarda just resently heard the original -like this version

    N.... N....

    Nuarda Nuarda it shouldn't be a song for racism, here I am, explaining to my 8 yr old son hiw this song is about different people. May it be race, color of skin, we are all create by God.

  15. m.... f....
