| The Pointer Sisters "Yes We Can Can" |
| (Verse 1) |
| Now the time for all good men to get together with one another |
| We got to iron out our problems and iron out our quarrels |
| Try to live as brothers |
| Try to find peace within without steppin' on one another |
| And do respect the women of the world |
| Remember you've all had mothers |
| We've gotta make this land a better land in the world in which we live |
| We gotta help each man be a better man with the kindness that we give |
| (Chorus) |
| I know we can make it |
| I know that we can |
| I know darn well we can work it out |
| Yes we can, you know we can can |
| I know we can can |
| Why can't we, if we want to, yes we can can |
| I know we can make it work |
| I know we can make it if we try, yes we can |
| I know we can can |
| Yes we can, great gosh almighty, yes we can |
| I know we can can |
| (Verse 2) |
| We gotta take care of all the children |
| Little children of the world |
| 'Cause they're our strongest hope for the future |
| All the little bitty boys and girls |
| We've gotta make this land a better land in the world in which we live |
| We gotta help each man be a better man with the kindness that we give |
| (Chorus ) |
| (Guitar Solo) |
| (Chorus ) |
| (Repeat the following + <*>) |
| Yes we can, you know we can can |
| I know we can can |
| Why can't we, if we want to, yes we can can |
| <*> |
| Yeah, we can make it, y'all |
| Yeah, we can make it, y'all |
| Oh, yeah, if we only try |
| Yeah, we can make it, y'all |
| Sometimes it's hard |
| Sometimes it's hard |
| Sometimes it's hard |
| Oh, we can make it, y'all, uh, huh |
| (Chorus 2) x 2 |
| I know we can make it |
| I know that we can |
| I know darn well we can work it out |
| We can work it out, yes we can can, yes we can can |
| Why can't we, if we want to get together |
| We can work it out |
| (Repeat Chorus 2 + <**>/Fade Out) |
| <**> |
| I know the harder ways of treatin' him like you |
| Oughta, just what it's all about |
| Don't you know all can work it out |
| Now the crowd of the people come to dinner |
| And you know we got to love one another |
| So many needy, so many poor |
| But love and understanding is the key to the door |
| How can you sit back like there's nothin' to do |
| Just like you don't care what the world commin' to, oh, Lord |
| There's gonna be harder, like the people say |
| No matter how hard, where ther's a will there's a way |
| We gotta build the road |
| Every boys and girls gotta build that one |
| Until the work is done, oh, yeah |
| Oh, Lord |
| We'd like to say always where there's a will there's gotta be a way, y'all |
| We gotta try a little harder with a feelin' |
| Like we oughta be just one thing you know we can work it out... |
