I'd like to buy the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees
and snow-white turtle doves
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
It's the real thing
Coke is what the world wants today.
Yeah, it was the real thing. Though a little unreal to me at the time. The oldies at home had this thing against carbonated drinks. And Cokes were major no-nos.
