The New Seekers

I'd like to build the world to sing
- New Seekers

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
'Ah, peace throughout the land'
(That's the song I hear~)
I'd like to teach the world to sing
(that the world sings today)
In perfect harmony
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony

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

Id 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 "Ah, peace throughout the land"

(That's the song I hear)
I'd like to teach the world to sing (that the world sings today)
In perfect harmony

I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony

Id like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees and snow-white turtle doves

NOTE: "Call and response" singing can be typed with the background singers'
words in (parentheses) BUT from here on both the lead singer and background
singers are, for the most part, singing simultaneously-which is impossible to
represent typographically.

look what they have done to my song ma
look what they have done to my song
well it's the only thing
that i could do half right
and it's turning out all wrong ma
look what they have done to my song

look what they have done to my brain ma
look what they have done to my brain
well they picked it like a chicken bone
and i think i'm half insane ma
look what they have done to my song

wish i could find a good book to live in

well if i could find a real good book
i'd never have to come out and look at
what they done to my song

c'est la seule chose que je peux faire
et ce n'est pas bon, ma.
ils ont change ma chanson.

look what they done to my song, ma
look what they done to my song
Well they tied it up in a plastic bag
and turned it upside down ma
look what they done to my song

It's the only thing that I could do alright
and they turned it upside down
oh ma look what they done to my song
