World needs a tune that it can hum hm hm hm
World needs a guitar that it can strum
World seeds a melody it can sing sing sing sing sing let's all sing together
In the sweet by and by we shall meet on that beautiful shore together
World needs a bell that it can chime the world needs a drum to keep the time
World seeds a melody it can sing sing sing sing sing let's all sing together
We come together down by the riverside uh uh uh togehter
World needs a reason to clap its hands world needs a leader for its band
World seeds a melody it can sing sing sing sing sing let's all sing together
Give us that old time religion give us that old time religion uh uh uh together
In the sweet (give us that old time religion)
In the sweet (give us that old time religion)
In the sweet (give us that old time religion) uh uh uh together
