Wonderful World - Beautiful People Song Lyrics
Wonderful World - Beautiful People by Jimmy Clanton [These are the studio-recording lyrics]
(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.
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, back-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 this 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, back-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. Mmm yeah yeah yeah
Talkin' 'bout the
Wonderful world. Beautiful people.
(You and your girl.)
Talkin' 'bout you
(Things could be pretty.)
Talkin' 'bout me
(Wonderful World)
Talkin' 'bout Nixon
(Beautiful People)
Harold Wilson
(Wonderful world)
Pompidou!
(Beautiful people)
Its the scene
(Wonderful world)
Every little bit helps now
(Beautiful people)
Do what you can
(Wonderful world)
Every little bit helps now
(Beautiful people)
