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
