D I donʼt know what the world may need G But Iʼm sure as hell that it starts with me C G D and thatʼs a wisdom, Iʼve laughed at D I donʼt know what the world may want G but a good stiff drink it surely donʼt C G D so I think Iʼll go and fix myself a tall one. D ʼCause what the world needs now G is a new, kind, attention C G D ʼcause the old one just bores me to death. ʼCause what the world needs now G G is another folk singer C G D like I need a hole in my head. I donʼt know what the world may need but a V-8 engineʼs a good start for me think Iʼll drive and find a place to be surly. I donʼt know what the world may want but some words of wisdom could comfort us think Iʼll leave that up to someone wiser. ʼCause what the world needs now are some true world of wisdom like la la la la la la la la la. ʼCause what the world needs now is another folk singer like I need a hole in my head. I donʼt know what the world may need and a leather dress? Iʼd be happy just to get your attention I donʼt know what the world may want but your long sweet body lying next to mine could certainly... raise my spirits. ʼCause what the world needs now is a new Frank Sinatra so I can get you in bed. What the world needs now is another folk singer like I need a hole in my head.
