What The World Needs

Ocean: WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS IS PEOPLE LIKE ME
TO KEEP IT ALL SPINNING AROUND
I'M THE MOVER, I'M THE SHAKER
I'M THE HEADLINE MAKER
MMM, I GET UP, I GET UP
AND NO ONE'S GOING TO GONNA KEEP ME DOWN
OKAY...IT'S CLEAR, I'M THE TOP OF THIS CLASS
THESE FOLKS HERE, WELL THEY PUMP THE GAS
FETCH ME A COFFEE, SHINE MY SHOES
SOME OF US ARE WINNERS, SOME WERE BORN TO LOSE
YOU GOT THE SANDWICH ARTIST, THE SECURITY GUARD?
THE WALMART GREETER WITH AN OVERDRAWN CREDIT CARD
HE “SMOKES GANJA”, OOO, IT’S SO GROOVY
TO STAY AT HOME AND WATCH AN ADAM SANDLER MOVIE?!
SHE SERVES ME COKE AND A MEDIUM FRIES
AND NO THANKS, I DON'T WANT IT SUPERSIZED
'CAUSE THAT'S LOWCLASS DIABETES IN A CUP!
KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN AND THINGS WILL LOOK UP
Choir: WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS IS PEOPLE LIKE ME
TO KEEP IT ALL SPINNING AROUND
I'M THE MOVER, I'M THE SHAKER I'M THE HEADLINE MAKER

Ocean: I GET UP I GET UP AND NO ONE IS GONNA KEEP ME DOWN
(to MISCHA in particular)
SERIOUSLY? THIS ONE HERE? HE'S RARIN' TO FAIL?!
HE'LL ROB A SEVEN ELEVEN, AND GO STRAIGHT TO JAIL
MAYBE STEAL HUBCAPS, MAYBE STEAL BOOZE?
EXPRESSING HIMSELF WITH HIS HOMEMADE TATTOOS!
(to CONSTANCE)
SOCCER MOM, MINIVAN
FOUR LITTLE BRATS, NO STEADY MAN
DO WE REALLY NEED ANOTHER ORGAN DONOR?
(Spoken)
Maybe that was a little harsh? Love you!
(to RICKY in particular)
(Sung) AH NOO, COMIC BOOKS? SPIDERMAN?
THE KID DOESN’T HAVE AN ATTENTION SPAN.
AND WHAT'S HE GONNA DO, SOLVE A RUBIK'S CUBE?
(whispered aside)
How long’s he got if they feed him through a tube?
(Sung)
