Lyrics:

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 (sing with me)
In perfect harmony (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 throughout the land
(That's the song I hear)

I'd like to teach the world to sing (let the world sing today)
In perfect harmony (do do do do)
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony (la da da da)

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 (let the world sing today)
In perfect harmony (hand in hand)
And I'd like to hold it in my arms
And keep it company
(That's the song I hear)

I'd like to see the world for once (let the world sing today)
All standing hand in hand (hand in hand)
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace throughout the land
(That's the song I hear)

I'd like to teach the world to sing (singin' along) (let the world sing today)
In perfect harmony (oh, over and over) (do do do do)
I'd like to teach the world to sing (singin' along)
In perfect harmony (oh, over and over) (la da da da)

I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony (oh, over and over)
