(Jimmy Cliff)



Eh-yeah, wonderful world, beautiful people

You and your girl things could be pretty

But underneath this there is a secret

That nobody can repeat - mmh



Take a look at the world and the state that it's in today

I am sure you'll agree we all could make it a better way

With our love put together ev'rybody learn to love each other

Instead of fussing and fighting, cheating but biting

Scandalising and hating



Baby, we could have a wonderful world, beautiful people

You and your girl things could be pretty

But underneath this there is a secret

That nobody can repeat - yeah now



Man and woman, girl and boy, let us try to give a helping hand

This I know and I'm sure that the love we all could understand

This is our world, can't you see

Ev'rybody wants to live and be free

Instead of fussing and fighting, cheating but biting

Scandalising and hating



Yeah, we could have a wonderful world, beautiful people

You and your girl things could be pretty

But underneath this there is a secret

That nobody can repeat - mmh yeah yeah



We could have a wonderful world, beautiful people ....



from 'Wonderful World, Beautiful People' (1970)
