Lyrics & music by: lynn ahrens

Performed by: lori lieberman

My grandmother came from russia

A satchel on her knee

My grandfather had his father's cap

He brought from italy.

They'd heard about a 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.

America was founded by the english

But also by the germans dutch and french.

The principle still sticks;

Our heritage is mixed.

So any kid could be the president.

You simply melt right in

It doesn't matter what your skin

It doesn't matter where you're from

Or your religion you jump right in

To the great american melting pot

The great american melting pot.

Ooh what a stew red white and blue.

America was the new world

And europe was the old.

America was the land of hope

Or so the legend told.

On steamboats by the millions

In search of honest pay

Those nineteenth century immigrants sailed

To reach the u.s.a.

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.

What good ingredients

Liberty and immigrants.

They brought the country's customs

Their language and their ways.

They filled the factories tilled the soil

Helped build the u.s.a.

Go on and ask your grandma

Hear what she has to tell

How great to be american

And something else as well.

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.

The great american melting pot.

The great american melting pot.
