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 sideSweet, sweet, sweet
Used to be so sweet to me, wellMuhammad, 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 InnI said, sweet, sweet, sweet
Between the boys and the bees
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Sweet, sweet, sweet, yes
Between the boys and the beesMoses I know, I know you've seen the 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 grapevineTill I get my own 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 robeI 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
