The document is a song advocating for diversity and cultural mixing. It envisions taking people from different races and cultures around the world and putting them together in a "great big melting pot" to blend together over a long period of time, emerging as "multi-colored people." The song describes adding people of various ethnicities and religions to the pot, like Native Americans, Latin Americans, Chinese, and Jews, and mixing them together in a "loving machine" to create understanding between all groups.

1. MELTING POT

2. (V1)
Take a pinch of white man
Add a pinch of maori.
Add a touch of blue blood
And a little bitty bit of Red Indian boy

3. Curly Latin kinkies
Mixed with friendly Chinese
If you lump it all together
Well, you got a recipe for a get along
scene
Oh, what a beautiful dream
If it could only come true, you
know, you know

4. (Chorus)
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
And turn out multi coloured people by
the score

5. (V2)
Rabbis and the Friars
Vishnus and the Gurus
You got the Beatles or the Sun God,
Well, it really doesn't matter what
religion you choose
No, no no

6. Makes you feel so graceful
And so very grateful
You know that livin' could be tasteful
We should all get together in a lovin'
machine
I better call up the Queen
It's only fair that she knows,
you know, you know

7. (Chorus)
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
And turn out multi coloured people by
the score.

8. • What we need, 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
And turn out multi coloured people by the
score
• (pause 2x8 counts)

9. 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
And turn out multi coloured people by
the score

10. 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
And turn out multi coloured people by
the score.
Do, do ,do
Do, do, do
