[George]
The world needs a tune that it can hum
Hmm, hmm
The world needs a guitar that it can strum
The world needs a melody that it can sing
Sing, sing, sing
[Both]
Let's all sing together
[Both]
In the sweet bye and bye
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
Hmm together
[Tammy]
The world needs a bell it can chime
Chime, chime, chime, chime, chime
The world needs a drum to keep the time, hmm hmm
The world needs a melody it can sing
Sing, sing, sing
[Both]
Let's all sing together
[Both]
I'm gonna lay down my burdens
Down by the riverside, hmm together
[Both]
The world needs a reason to clap it hands
The world needs a leader for it's band
The world needs a melody that it can
Sing, sing, sing, sing
Let's all sing together
[Both]
Give us that old time religion
Give us that old time religion
Hmm hmm, together
[Both]
In the sweet
Give us that old time religion
I'm gonna lay down my burdens
In the sweet
Give us that old time religion
I'm gonna lay down my burdens
Hmm together
