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

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 that flying trapeeze 
I got a peanut butter hand
But, honey, do drop in at the Dew Drop Inn

Sweet, sweet, sweet
Between the boys and the bees
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 the Pele blow
And I've never seen light
But I sure have seen gold
And Gladys save the place for me on your grapevine
'Til I get my own on the 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
But you know, 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
