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 (sing with me)
In perfect harmony (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
For peace through out the land (that's the song I hear)

Sing it along
Let the world sing today
Over and over

I'd like to teach the world to sing (sing it along)
In perfect harmony (over and over)
La, la, la, la
To, do, do, do, do, do
La, la, la
La, la, la, la

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 (that's the song I hear)

I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony (hand in hand)
I'd like to hold it in my arms
And keep it company (that's the song I hear)

I'd like to see the world for once (let the world sing today)
All standing hand in hand (hand in hand)
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace through out the land (that's the song I hear)

I'd like to teach the world to sing (sing it along)
In perfect harmony (let the world sing today)
I'd like to teach the world to sing (sing it along)
In perfect harmony

I'd like to teach the world to sing (sing it along)
In perfect harmony (over and over)
I'd like to teach the world to sing (sing it along)
In perfect harmony

Who wrote I'd like to teach the world
To sing in perfect harmony?
