Lyrics by ian grant, music by lionel rand Let there be you, let there be me Let there be oysters under the sea Let there be wind, occasional rain Chili con carne, and sparkling champagne Let there be birds to sing in the trees Someone to bless me whenever i sneeze Let there be cuckoos, a lark and a dove But first of all, please Let there be love Musical interlude (scat) Let there be birds to sing in the trees I need someone to bless me whenever i sneeze Let there be cuckoos, cuckoos A lark and a dove But first of all, please Let there be love Oh let there be love ya'll Ooh we gotta have some, really gotta have some We need love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love Say we need a little bit of love, little bit, little bit of love (scat) Really need a little bit (scat)
