Take a pinch of white man
Wrap him up in black skin
Add a touch of blue blood
And a little bitty bit of red indian boy
Oh like a curly latin kinkies
Oh lordy, lordy, mixed with yellow chinkees, yeah
You know you lump it all together
And you got a recipe for a get along scene
Oh what a beautiful dream
If it could only come true, you know, you know
What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough enough enough to take
The world and all it's got
And keep it stirring for
A hundred years or more
And turn out coffee coloured people by the score
Rabbis and the friars
Vishnus and the gurus
We got the beatles or the sun god
Well it really doesn't matter
What religion you choose
And be thankful little mrs. graceful
You know that livin' could be tasteful
We should all get together in a lovin machine
I think I'll call up the queen
It' s only fair that she knows, you know, you know
What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough enough enough to take
The world and all it's got
And keep it stirring for
A hundred years or more
And turn out coffee coloured people by the score
Coffee coloured people
Coffee coloured people
Coffee coloured people by the score

Culture Club è un gruppo musicale britannico formatosi a Londra nei primi anni '80.

Culture Club ha ottenuto un enorme successo internazionale con brani come "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?", "Karma Chameleon", "Church of the Poison Mind" e "Miss Me Blind". Tra i loro album più importanti ricordiamo *Kissing to Be Clever* (1982) e *Colour by Numbers* (1983), entrambi di grande successo commerciale. Nel 1999 hanno pubblicato l'album *Don't Mind If I Do*, un tentativo di ritorno che non ha riscosso lo stesso successo dei precedenti.
