I'd like to build
the world a home
And furnish it with love
grow apple trees
and honey bees
And snow-white turtle doves
I'd like to teach
the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms
and keep it company
You can't beat the real thing
you can't beat the real thing
I'd like to see the world for once
all standing hand in hand
And hear them echo
through the hills
for peace throughout the land
I'd like to teach
the world to sing
in perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms
and keep it company
You can't beat the real thing
you can't beat the real thing
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'd like to teach the
world to sing
in perfect harmony
I'd like to teach the
world to sing
in perfect harmony
I'd like to teach the
world to sing
in perfect harmony
I'd like to teach the
world to sing
in perfect harmony
I'd like to teach the
world to sing
in perfect harmony
I'd like to teach the
world to sing
in perfect harmony
