Muhammad My Friend

Muhammad my friend it's time to tell the world we both know it was a girl
back in Bethlehem
and on that fateful daywhen 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 gettin 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

Sweet sweet sweet
between the boys and the bees

and Moses I know
I know you've seen fire
but you're 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 honey 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
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
