Come on and sing girls, sing boys
Most everybody doing too much fighting
Hey, how many people have you ever seen fight
And there's not enough singing goin' on
This old world may not last long
Come on and sing girls, sing boys
This old world may not last long
Sing a happy song
Sing a happy song
Well, almost everybody's doing too much talking
Sing a happy song
Come on and sing girls, sing boys
Come on and sing girls, sing boys
Just for their personal gain
Come on and sing girls, sing boys
Talking and just gettin' mad
This old world may not last long
This old world may not last long
This old world may not last long
Come on and sing girls, sing boys
Come on and sing girls, sing boys
This old world may not last long
Most everybody mistreating one another
Come on and sing girls, sing boys
Were to hold back their heads and sing
So if all that talking gonna make you unhappy
Sing a happy song
Sing a happy song
Hey, but that wouldn't happen if the sisters and the brothers
Come on and sing girls, sing boys
While they were singing a song?
Come on and sing girls, sing boys
Come on and sing girls, sing boys
Why don't you just sing and be glad
