Wonderful World - Beautiful People lyrics

Songwriters: Cliff, Jimmy

[These are the studio-recording lyrics]
(Jimmy Cliff)

Eh-yeah,
Wonderful world. Beautiful people.
You and your girl. Things could be pretty.
But underneath this
There is a secret
That nobody
Can repeat.

Take a look at the world and the state that it's in today
I am sure you'll agree we all could make it a better way
With our love put together ev'rybody learn to love each other
Instead of fussing and fighting,
cheating, back-biting,
Scandalising and
hating.

Baby, we could have a
Wonderful world. Beautiful people.
You and your girl. Things could be pretty.
But underneath this
There is a secret
That nobody
Can repeat. Yeah now

Man and woman, girl and boy, let us try to give a helping hand.
This I know and I'm sure that this love we all could understand.
This is our world, can't you see? Ev'rybody wants to live and be free.
Instead of fussing and fighting,
Cheating, back-biting,
Scandalising and
Hating

Yeah, we could have a
Wonderful world. Beautiful people.
You and your girl. Things could be pretty.
But underneath this
There is a secret
That nobody
Can repeat. Mmm yeah yeah yeah

Talkin' 'bout the
Wonderful world. Beautiful people.
(You and your girl.)
Talkin' 'bout you
(Things could be pretty.)
Talkin' 'bout me
(Wonderful World)
Talkin' 'bout Nixon
(Beautiful People)
Harold Wilson
(Wonderful world)
Pompidou!
(Beautiful people)
Its the scene
(Wonderful world)
Every little bit helps now
(Beautiful people)
Do what you can
(Wonderful world)
Every little bit helps now
(Beautiful people)

(fade)

Ya gotta remember Jimmy Cliff (James Chambers) wrote this in 1969. Woodstock had just happened and the whole world was peace and love and flowers in your hair.

The idea that people can join together and resolve things peacefully was almost universally believed. Careful though, the last person that suggested we try being nice to one another and get along got nailed to a tree some 2000 odd years ago.

This was Jimmy's "message of hope" to the leaders of the US(Nixon) England(Wilson) and France(Georges Pompidou) over the conflict in Vietnam. In fact, "Vietnam" was the name of his next single.
