[Verse 1]
Good morn' or evening, friends
Here’s your friendly announcer, oh
I have serious news to pass on to everybody
What I'm about to say
Could mean the world's disaster
Could change your joy and laughter to tears and pain

[Chorus]
It’s that
Love's in need of love today
Don't delay
Send yours in right away, mmm
Hate's goin' round
Breakin' many hearts
Stop it, please
Before it's gone too far
Can somebody sing with me? Ooh
(Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da-da) Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Ooh-wee
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) Listen now, can I sing this?

[Verse 2]
The force of evil plans
To make you its possession
And it will if we let it
Destroy evеry—, everybody—sing with me, wе
We all must take
We all must take precautionar—, precautionary measures
Please y'all, listen
If peace and love, peace and love you treasure
Can you hear me, hear me, hear me when I say
