[Verse 1]
All the children 'round today
They all seem to be down today
Could it be that the reason why
Is because their Daddy went bye-bye?

[Chorus]
Love makes the world go round
Spinnin’ like a top
Love makes the world go round
Don't you let it stop

[Verse 2]
I went walkin' around the block
Some of the people were throwin’ rocks
Could it be that they act so funny
They ain't got enough food in their tummy?

[Chorus]
Love makes the world go round
Spinnin' like a top
Love makes the world go round
Don't you let it stop

[Verse 3]
Turn your eyes to the head of the nation
Where they pass all the legislation
Spin the wheels, got no traction
Too much talk and not enough action
[Chorus]
Love makes the world go round
Spinnin' like a top
Love makes the world go round
Don't you let it stop

Put down the conga, play the flute

[Instrumental Break]

Not too bad
Very good

[Verse 4]
Of course we're talkin' about the war
What the people have riots for
Things that happen in Washington
Don’t you think that something should be done?

[Chorus]
Love makes the world go round
Spinnin’ like a top
Love makes the world go round
Don't you let it stop

[Chorus]
Love makes the world go round
Spinnin’ like a top
Love makes the world go round
Don't you let it stop
[Chorus]
Love makes the world go round
Spinnin' like a top
Love makes the world go round
Don't you let it stop
