Dr. John - Let's Make A Better World Lyrics






The world we know was built on skills, but that alone don't count.
Without the sweat and toil of mine; it wouldn't be worth a dime.
You got to live and give, share and care. Really put some love in the air.
When your neighbor's down, try to pick him up. Nobody can live in despair.

Everybody let's sing, sing, sing? (Let freedom ring)
(Everybody let's sing, sing, sing?)
Let's all pitch in to do our thing, make a better world to live in.
Everybody let's sing, sing, sing? (Let freedom ring)
(Everybody let's sing, sing, sing?)
Let's all pitch in and do our thing, make a better world to live in.

Society has no priority, we're all one part of a whole.
When people scream and shout, you hafta hear?em out. Everybody is a beautiful soul.

You gotta pull together, go hand in hand. You really got to do your best.
Wouldn't it be a perfect sight to see: the whole world filled with happiness.
Everybody let's sing, sing, sing? (Let freedom ring)
(Everybody let's sing, sing, sing?)
Let's all pitch in to do our thing, make a better world to live in.
Everybody let's sing, sing, sing? (Let freedom ring)
(Everybody let's sing, sing, sing?)
Let's all pitch in to do our thing, make a better world to live in.
Everybody let's sing, sing, sing?
(Everybody let's sing, sing, sing?)
Let's all join hands and do our thing, make a better world to live in.

    Lina, I wish I knew! Here's my best stab so far, a little clearer on 20 Feet from Fame soundtrack:
    You pull the fish  from the bottom
    To the people on the water
    To the river
    To the levee
    To the  happy
    To the sad
    To the first
    To the last

    From the 
    To the sky
    To the mountain
    To the sea
    To the left
    To the left
    To the sky up in the fountain
    To the sky

    M.... ....

    @MrScogmo Thanks for this! I've been looking for these lyrics everywhere. I had a good listen myself and (based off your lyrics) here's what I heard.


    From the Tata Vega version:


    Pull the fish from the water
    To the people from the water
    To the river, to the bank
    To the happy, to the sad
    To the first, to the last


    From the dirt, from the weeds
    To the flowers, from the seeds
    To the left, to the left (I think the Dr. John version says 'From the up to the down')
    To the sky, to the fountain in the sky.


    So hard to hear!!

  20. L.... R....

    Does anyone know the correct lyrics to what the background singers are singing during the verse?

    L.... R....

    This is what I hear. They all seem to be Biblical references.

    Pull the fish from the water
    to the people
    in the water.
    To the river,
    To the bank,
    To the happy,
    To the sad,
    Through the first
    To the last,
    To the fields
    From the weeds,
    To the flowers
    From the seeds,
    To the levee
    To the fountain
    To the sky
    To the fountain 
    in the sky.


    It's a great song. My chorus is going to perform it.
