id like to teach the world to sing - Song Lyrics

I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing (In Perfect Harmony)

Artists: The New Seekers (peak Billboard position # 7 in 1971-72)
Words and Music by Roquel Davis, Roger John Reginald Greenaway, Roger F. 
Cook, and William M. Backer
Adapted from a Coca Cola commercial

Id like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees and snow-white turtle doves

I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms and keep it company

I'd like to see the world for once
All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills "Ah, peace throughout the land"

(That's the song I hear)
I'd like to teach the world to sing (that the world sings today)
In perfect harmony

<See Note below>

I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony

Id like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees and snow-white turtle doves

NOTE: "Call and response" singing can be typed with the background singers' 
words in (parentheses) BUT from here on both the lead singer and background 
singers are, for the most part, singing simultaneously---which is impossible to 
represent typographically.
