Muhammad my friend it’s time to tell the world

We both know it was a girl back in Bethlehem

And on that fateful day when she was crucified she wore shiseido red

And we drank tea by her side

 

And sweet, sweet, sweet

Used to be so sweet to me well

 

Muhammad my friend I’m getting very scared

Teach me how to love my brothers who don’t know the law

And what about the deal on the flying trapeze

Got a peanut butter hand but honey do drop in at the Dew Drop Inn

 

I said sweet, sweet, sweet

Between the boys and the bees

Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet

Between the boys and the bees

 

And Moses I know

I know you’ve seen fire but you’ve never seen fire until you’ve seen Pele blow

And I’ve never seen light but I sure have seen gold

And Gladys save a place for me on your grapevine till I get my o-own honey TV show

 

Ashre, ashre, ashre, ashre

And if I lose my Cracker Jacks at the tidal wave

I got a place in the Pope’s rubber robe

 

I said Muhammad my friend it’s time to tell the world

We both know it was a girl back in Bethlehem

We both know it was a girl back in Bethlehem

We both know it was a girl back in Bethlehem
