It took the Lord just six days to make the mountains
The oceans and the rivers, the valleys and the hills
Then life on earth began, but there was more to the plan
He took the seventh day just to rest, and then

On the eighth day God created music
He put the leaves in the breeze and made a ringing tambourine
Then he gave the wind a song, and the birds they sang along
And the world joined in perfect harmony

It didn't take too long to spread throughout the land
Sampson and Delilah were the first to clap their hands
And would you believe there was Adam and Eve
Swinging underneath an apple tree

On the eighth day God created music
He put the leaves in the breeze and made a ringing tambourine
Then he gave the wind a song, and the birds they sang along
And the world joined in perfect harmony

So, when you spirits are down take a look around
And listen to the good Lord's melody

On the eighth day God created music
He put the leaves in the breeze and made a ringing tambourine
Then he gave the wind a song, and the birds they sang along
And the world joined in perfect harmony

On the eighth day God created music
He put the leaves in the breeze and made a ringing tambourine
Then he gave the wind a song, and the birds they sang along
And the world joined in perfect harmony
Yes, the world joined in perfect harmony
