I don't know what the world may need,    but I'm sure as hell that is starts with me.    And that's a wisdom,    I've laughed at.       I don't know what the world may want,    but a good stiff drink it surely don't.    So I think I'll go and fix myself a tall one.       Cause, what the world needs now    is a new kind of tension.    Cause the old one just bores me to death.    Cause, what the world needs now    is another folk singer    like I need a hole in my head.       I don't know what the world may need,    but a V8 engine is a good start for me.    Think I'll drive to find a place,    to be surly.    I don't know what the world may want,    but some words of wisdom could comfort us.    Think I'll leave that up to someone wiser.       Cause, what the world needs now    are some true words of wisdom    like La La La La La La La La La   Cause, what the world needs now    is another folk singer    like I need a hole in my head.       I don't know what the world may need,    and I never grasped your complexities.    I'd be happy just to get your attention.    And, I don't know what the world may want,    but your long, sweet body lying next    to mine could certainly raise my spirits.       Cause what the world needs now    is a new Frank Sinatra    so I can get you in bed.    Cause what the world needs now    is another folk singer    like I need a hole in my head.
