I catch a word of the universal rhyme

In the summertimes in the summertimes

The river flows and I wonder where it goes

Only heaven knows only heaven knows

Inpatient with the human race

Still Nature shows a friendly face

And I believe in paradise on Earth

But then tonight I had this dream

So horrible I had to scream

I saw the Earth naked like the Moon

Naked like the Moon

Inpatient with the human race

Still Nature shows a friendly face

And I believe in paradise on Earth

But when I saw the News today

So horrible I had to pray

Don't leave the Earth naked like the Moon

Naked like the Moon
