So I think I'll go and fix myself a tall one
Are some true words of wisdom
Like I need a hole in my head, head, head
Is another folk singer
And I never grasped your complexities
Like I need a hole in my head
What the world needs now
Is a new kind of tension
Is a new Frank Sinatra
'Cause the old one just bores me to death
What the world needs now
'Cause, what the world needs now
'Cause, what the world needs now
Like I need a hole in my head
Is another folk singer
To mine could certainly raise my spirits
What the world needs now
But a good stiff drink it surely don't
What the world needs now
So I can get you in bed
Is another folk singer
What the world needs now
I don't know what the world may want
I don't know what the world may want
What the world needs now
Think I'll drive to find a place, to be surly
'Cause, what the world needs now
What the world needs now
Is another folk singer
Is a new Frank Sinatra
Think I'll leave that up to someone wiser
I don't know what the world may need
I don't know what the world may need
Is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head
Is another folk singer
What the world needs now
'Cause what the world needs now
I don't know what the world may want
So I can get you in bed
But a V8 engine is a good start for me
'Cause what the world needs now
'Cause, what the world needs now
But your long, sweet body lying next
Like La la la la la la la la la la
But some words of wisdom could comfort us
And that's a wisdom, I've laughed at
I'd be happy just to get your attention
Like I need a hole in my head
