That's All This Old World Needs

That's all this ol' world needs,

That's all this ol' world needs . . .

A little more love an' sweet devotion,

A little less hate an' wild commotion,

That's all this world needs . . .



That's all this ol' world needs,

That's all this ol' world needs . . .

A little more truth an' no more lies,

And only rain fallin' from the skies,

That's all this world needs . . .



A little less envy, a little less greed,

A little more lookin' to your brothers need,

A little more laughter, a little more song,

An' a world where people know right from wrong . . .



That's all this ol' world needs,

That's all this ol' world needs . . .

The innocence of children everywhere,

The peacefulness of an evening prayer,

That's all this world needs . . .

< instrumental break >

A little less envy, a little less greed,

A little more lookin' to your brothers need,

A little more laughter, a little more song,

An' a world where people know right from wrong . . .



That's all this ol' world needs,

That's all this ol' world needs . . .

The innocence of children everywhere,

The peacefulness of an evening prayer,

That's all this world needs . . .

< repeat last verse >

That's all this world needs . . .
