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 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
