Chorus: I'd like to teach the world to sing In perfect harmony I'd like to buy the world a Coke And keep it company That's the real thing. (Repeat chorus) I'd like to teach the world to sing In perfect harmony I'd like to buy the world a Coke And keep it company That's the real thing |
Chorus 2: What the world wants today Coca-Cola (background) Is the real thing (Repeat chorus 2) What the world wants today Coca-Cola (background) Is the real thing I'd like to teach the world to sing Sing with me (background) In perfect harmony I'd like to buy the world a Coke And keep it company That's the real thing (Repeat chorus) I'd like to teach the world to sing In perfect harmony I'd like to buy the world a Coke And keep it company That's the real thing.
