What a wonderful world it would be
If people were just like me
We’d all be the same
We’d all play the game
And get along splendidly
What a wonderful world it would be
With no diversity
Every bird in the air
Every beast in its lair
The color of Indian tea
What a wonderful world it would be
If there was no thing as degree
There’d be no competition
Cosmetic technician
And furthermore, no pageantry
What a wonderful world it would be
If everyone simply agreed
No wars and no strife
We can get on with life
No corruption or need to mislead
What a wonderful world it would be
If all was shared equally
No beg steal or borrow
No crime and no sorrow
A pie-in-the-sky guarantee
What a wonderful world it would be
If all to be had was for free
With nothing to covet
Neither want it nor love it
And nothing to cause jealousy
No taller or shorter
No half or three quarter
No thinner or fatter
No rounder or flatter
No plan and no color
No brighter nor duller
No cause for excitement
No hope for enlightenment
No choice in the matter
No smorgasbord platter
All will be bland
No room to expand
What a terrible world it would be
