Mohammed 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
Mohammed 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'
sweet sweet sweet
between the boys and the bees
sweet sweet sweet
between the boys and the bees
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
until I get my own on a TV show
Ashre ashre ashre ashre
and if I lose my crackerjacks
at the tidal wave
I got a place in the pope's
rubber robe
Mohammed 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 BethlehemWoody Guthrie
Chorus:
This land is your land. This land is my land from California to the New York island,
From the red wood forest to the Gulf stream waters. This land was made for you and me.
As I was walkin' that ribbon of a highway, I saw above me that endless skyway.
I saw below me that golden valley. This land was made for you and me.
(Chorus)
I roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps to the sparklin' sands of her diamond desert
And all around me a voice was sounding, "This land was made for you and me."
The sun came shining and I was strolling and the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting a voice was calling, "This land was made for you and me."
(Chorus)
