The World Needs a Melody

The world needs a tune that it can hum

The world needs a guitar that it can strum

The world needs a melody that it can sing, sing, sing, sing

Let's all sing together

In the sweet bye and bye

We shall meet on that beautiful shore

Together

The world needs a bell it can chime

Chime, chime, chime, chime, chime, chime

The world needs a drum to keep the time

The world needs a melody it can sing, sing, sing, sing

Let's all sing together

Gonna lay down my burden

Down by the river side

To give

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

Give us that old time religion

Give us that old time religion

Together

(In the sweet) give us that old time religion

Gonna lay down my burden

(In the sweet) give us that old time religion

Gonna lay down my burden

Together
