I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing Lesson

I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing
Written by The New Seekers for a Coca Cola commercial

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.

CHORUS
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 (That’s the song I hear.)
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
(instrumental interlude)

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.
