(In 4/4 time. 8 bar piano Intro)

 

 1. 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

​

2. 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

​

3. 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

​

(Verse 4 and Part 2)

That's the song i hear

Let the world sing together

Sing it again

Over and over

​

Repeat verse 1, 2 and 3 at same time as Part 2

​

(all sing in unison)

That's the song i hear

Let the world sing together

Sing it again

Over and over

​

(unison)

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
