Eh-yeah, wonderful world, beautiful people
|
You and your girl, things could be pretty
|
But underneath this there is a secret
|
That nobody can repeat
|
|
Take a look at the world and the state that it's in today
|
I am sure you'll agree we all could make it a better way
|
With our love put together ev'rybody learn to love each other
|
Instead of fussing and fighting, cheating, back-biting,
|
Scandalising and hating
|
|
Baby, we could have a wonderful world, beautiful people
|
You and your girl things could be pretty
|
But underneath this there is a secret
|
That nobody can repeat - yeah now
|
|
Man and woman, girl and boy, let us try to give a helping hand
|
This I know and I'm sure that the love we all could understand
|
This is our world, can't you see
|
Ev'rybody wants to live and be free
|
Instead of fussing and fighting, cheating back-biting
|
Scandalising and hating
|
|
Yeah, we could have a wonderful world, beautiful people
|
You and your girl things could be pretty
|
But underneath this there is a secret
|
That nobody can repeat - mmh yeah yeah
|
|
We could have a wonderful world, beautiful people ....
