The World Needs a Melody

(Red Lane - Larry Henley - Johnny Slate)



The world needs a tune it can hum

Hmm, mmm, the world needs a guitar it can strum

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

Now 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

The world needs a drum to keep the time.



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

Now let's all sing together

We'll fly away O'Glory, we'll fly away together

The world needs a reason to clap it hands.



--- Clapping ---



The world needs a leader for its band

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

Now let's all sing together

Give us that old time religion, give us that old time religion.



Hmm, hmm, together

In the sweet bye and bye

Give us that old time religion

In the sweet bye and bye

Give us that old time religion.



--- Clapping ---



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

Together, together, together...
