Now's the time for all good men
To get together with one another
We got to iron out our problems
And iron out our quarrels
And try to live as brothers
And try to find peace within
Without stepping on one another
And do respect the women of the world
Remember you all have mothers
We got to make this land a better land
Than the world in which we live
We've got to help each man be a better man
With the kindness that we give
I know we can make it
I know darn well we can work it out
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, why can't we?
If we wanna get together we can work it out
I know we can make it work
I know we can make it if we try
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
And we gotta take care of all the children
The little children of the world
'Cause they're our strongest hope for the future
The little bitty boys and girls
And try to find peace within
Without stepping on one another
And do respect the women of the world
Remember you all have mothers
We got to make this land a better land
Than the world in which we live
And we got to help each man be a better man
With the kindness that we give
I know we can make it
I know darn well we can work it out
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, why can't we?
If we wanna, yes we can can
I know we can make it work
I know we can make it if we try
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
A rub a dub bank, rub a dub dub
You groove to the rhythm, start to shake it up
And now you know jam on the brake

Tell you what you're gonna do to the funky beat

If we wanna get together we can work it out
I know we can make it
I know darn well we can work it out
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
