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
 used to be so sweet to me

 muhammed 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 got a peanut butter hand
 but honey do drop in at the
 dew drop Inn
 sweet sweet
 between the bots 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 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
 muhammed my friend
 it's time to tell the world
 we both know it was a girl
 back in bethlehem
