I'd like to buy the world a Coke, and keep it company.

[Cannikin]

I'd like to buy the world a home and furnish it with love,
Grow apple trees and honey bees, and snow white turtle doves.
I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony,
I'd like to buy the world a Coke and keep it company.
Repeat the last two lines, and in the background:
It's the real thing, Coke is what the world wants today.

4. "I'd like to buy the world a Coke . . ."

I have a bipolar friend who describes his "manic" cycles that way.

6. I'd like to give the world a hug...

I'd like to give the world a hug
And tell it jokes and stuff
Then pull its pants down to its shoes
And chase it through the rough
I'd tie it up with bonds and straps
And check its purse for change
Then leave it out at Moose Grin Hall
With our cousin who's deranged
