Song Lyrics
My grandmother came from Russia
 * Lori Lieberman

A satchel on her knee

My grandfather had his father's cap

He brought from Italy

They'd heard about the country

Where life might let them win

They paid the fare to America

And there they melted in

Lovely Lady Liberty

With her book of recipes

And the finest one she's got

Is the Great American Melting Pot

The Great American Melting Pot

(spoken) America was founded by the English.
 * Charlie Brown

(spoken) But also by the Germans, Dutch, and French.
 * Lucy van Pelt

(spoken) The principle still sticks: Our heritage is mixed.
 * Schroeder

(spoken) So any kid could be the president.
 * Peanuts gang

You simply melt right in
 * Lori Lieberman

It doesn't matter what your skin

It doesn't matter where you're from

Or your religion
