| Lyrics: | 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 . . .
