Tony Bennett
 Words by Leslie Bricusse/Music by Cyril Ornadel

 If I ruled the world, ev'ry day would be the first day of spring
 Every heart would have a new song to sing
 And we'd sing of the joy every morning would bring

 If I ruled the world, ev'ry man would be as free as a bird,
 Ev'ry voice would be a voice to be heard
 Take my word we would treasure each day that occurred

 My world would be a beautiful place
 Where we would weave such wonderful dreams
 My world would wear a smile on its face
 Like the man in the moon has when the moon beams
 If I ruled the world every man would say the world was his friend
 There'd be happiness that no man coud end
 No my friend, not if I ruled the world
 Every head would be held up high
 There'd be sunshine in everyone's sky
 If the day ever dawned when I ruled the world
