What This Old World Needs

(Jimmy Dean - Dick Shannon)



What this whole world needs is a lot more lovin'

A lot less shovin' around

What this whole world needs is a lot less hatin'

Just straighten up and settle down.



Now lovin' your neighbor is the spice of life

MY I said your neighbor not your neighbor's wife

What this whole world needs is a lot more lovin'

A lot less shovin' around.



What this whole world needs is a lot more blessin'

A lot less messin' around

What this whole world needs is a lot less fightin'

To brighten up that worried frown.



Just wish yourn neighbor well and that will help a lot

Stead of whishin' you've had what's your neighbor's got

What this whole world needs is a lot more lovin'

A lot less shovin' around.
