Lyrics

[Intro]

Zoom, zoom

Zoom, zoom

Zoom, zoom

Zoom, zoom

Zoom-zoom, zoom

Zoom, zoom

[Verse 1]

Slap that bass, use it like a tonic

Slap that bass, keep your philharmonic

Zoom, zoom, zoom, and the milk and honey'll flow

[Bridge]

Today, you can see that the happiest men

All got rhythm

[Verse 2]

Slap that bass, keep your philharmonic

Slap that bass (I got to, got to, got to, yeah)

[Chorus]

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

It's the only thing that there's just too little of

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

No, not just for some but for everyone

[Verse 3]

Lord, we don't need another mountain

There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb

There are oceans and rivers enough to cross

Enough to last till the end of time

[Chorus]

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

It's the only thing that there's just too little of

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

Written by: Burt Bacharach, George Gershwin, Hal David, Harold Arlen, Ira Gershwin, Ted Koehler
