The World Song

Hey, don't you think it's time that we had a party
 Wouldn't you agree we all need a good time
 We could have the neighbors in for a drink
 and lay a little food on too
 You could ask the Joneses
 I could ask the Thompsons
 Stuart from the store
 and don't forget the Johnsons
 And what about the man who stands on the corner
 He must have a tale or two to tell
 Wouldn't it be nice to buy out the Fillmore
 and fill it with our friends
 and then if there's still more room
 We could ask the folks from the City
 To come along and feel at home
 And if the ragged gypsy danced with the soldier
 Think of all the things the soldier could learn
 And think of all the things the doctor could tell the priest
 There's a story to be told
 Listen
 Sounds so new, in truth, its old
 Listen
 Hey, maybe we should give an open invitation
 We could have a friend from every single nation
 We could ask the friends to bring along a friend
 Anyone who wants to come will be welcome
 Anyone who wants to make with the music
 is going to be allowed to play what he wants to
 Anyone who wants to sing us a song can bring us a song
 and sing it if he wants to
 Maybe we could hear the voices of China
 Sharing a harmony with Carolina
 Africa could take the bass with the Asians
 Melody promotes our east-west relations
 Russia and the USA would be singing
 Everybody's bells and hearts would be ringing
 We could get the song to go on forever
 If everybody in the world sang together
 There's a meaning oh so clear
 Listen
 Notes as old as life is dear
 Listen
 Maybe we could hear the voices of China
 Sharing a harmony with Carolina
 Africa could take the bass with the Asians
 Melody promotes our east-west relations
 Russia and the USA would be singing
 Everybody's bells and hearts would be ringing
 We could get the song to go on forever
 If everybody in the world sang together, hey
 Oh we could make such sweet music together
 If you come with your heart in your hand
 (repeat & fade)
