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
I'd like to see the world for once All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills For peace through out the land
That's the song I hear. Let the world sing today (Over and over) oh yeah
I'd like to teach the world to sing In perfect harmony
Laa la la laah, Do-do dooh do-do dooh Ahh ha ha haah ahaa ha ha La la laah
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 (that's the song I hear)

I'd like to teach the world to sing In perfect harmony, that's the song I hear
