Come on and sing, girl, sing boy
Sing a happy song
Come on and sing, girl, sing, boy
This old world may not last long
Most everybody's doing too much fighting
And there's not enough singing going on
How many people have you ever seen fight
While they were singing a song
Come on and sing, girl, sing boy
Sing a happy song
Come on and sing, girl, sing, boy
This old world may not last long
Most everybody's mistreating one another
Just fight a personal game
But that wouldn't happen to the sisters and the brothers
When they hold back their heads and sing
Come on and sing, girl, sing boy
Sing a happy song
Come on and sing, girl, sing, boy
This old world may not last long
Most everybody's doing too much talking
Talking and they just get mad
So if all that talking's gonna make you unhappy
Why don't just seeing be glad
Come on and sing, girl, sing boy
Sing a happy song
Come on and sing, girl, sing, boy
This old world may not last long
