“Put a Little Love in Your Heart” by Jackie DeShannon
(click here to listen)
Think of your fellow man
Lend him a helping hand
Put a little love in your heart
You see it’s getting late
Oh, please don’t hesitate
Put a little love in your heart
And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see
Another day goes by
Still the children cry
Put a little love in your heart
If you want the world to know
We won’t let hatred grow
Put a little love in your heart
And the world (And the world)
will be a better place
All the world (And the world) will be a better place
For you (For you) and me (And me)
You just wait (Just wait) and see, wait and see
Take a good look around
And if you’re looking down
Put a little love in your heart
I hope when you decide
Kindness will be your guide
Put a little love in your heart
And the world (And the world)
will be a better place
And the world (And the world) will be a better place
For you (For you) and me (And me)
You just wait (Just wait) and see
People now, put a little love in your heart
Each and every day
Put a little love in your heart
There’s no other way
Put a little love in your heart
It’s up to you
Put a little love in your heart
Come on and
Put a little love in your heart
You’ve got to
Put a little love in your heart

COMMENTS ON PREVIOUS SELECTION – “You’ve Got a Friend”
This song conveys sentiments similar to “Bridge Over Troubled Water” (no.33), but though repetitive, one never tires of hearing them again.
