Lyrics for 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 You 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 And, Moses, I know I know you've seen fire But you never seen fire Until you've seen Pele blow And I 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 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
