Hear the music of the world a-turnin' Can't you hear the sweet sound of the world a-turnin'. If you stop, look, and listen, you can almost hear things grow; You can have music wherever you go. I hear a symphony of traffic in the city; There are horns a-blowin'; there are heels a-clickin'. Hear those ashcans rattlin' as the sun begins to rise; All you gotta do is listen to ... Hear the music of the world a-turnin' Can't you hear the sweet sound of the world a-turnin'. If you stop, look, and listen, you can almost hear things grow; You can have music wherever you go. Windgot a special song for each and every day; It's got the waves a-dancin' and the thunder clapping. Now, don't just ignore itÑthere's a concert all around you; All you gotta do is listen to ... Hear the music of the world a-turnin' Can't you hear the sweet sound of the world a-turnin'. If you stop, look, and listen, you can almost hear things grow; You can have music wherever you go. You can have music wherever you go.
