(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...
