[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Used to be so sweet to me, well

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Between the boys and the bees
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Sweet, sweet, yes
Between the boys and the bees

[Bridge]
And Moses, I know
I know you’ve seen fire
But you’ve never seen fire
Until that 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
[Outro]
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
We both know it was a girl back in Bethlehem
