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 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, yes Between the boys and the bees Moses, I know I know you've seen fire But you've never seen fire Until you've seen the 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 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 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
