Lets Work Together by Canned Heat
Together we stand, divided we fall
Come on now people, let's get on the ball and work together
Come on, come on, let's work together
Cause together we will stand every, every girl and a man
Before when things go wrong, as they sometimes will

And the road that you travel, it stays all up hill
Let's work together
Come on, come on, let's work together
You know together we will stand, every boy, girl, woman and a man
Oh well now, two or three minutes, two or three hours

What does it matter now, if this time go round
Let's work together
Come on, come on
Let's work together, now people
Cause together we will stand, every boy, every woman and a man
Oh well, make someone happy, make someone smile

Let's all work together and make life worth while
Let's work together
Come on, come on
Let's work together, now now people
Cause together we will we stand, every boy, girl, woman and a man
Because together we will stand, every boy, girl, woman and a man

Well together we will stand, every boy, girl, woman and a man
Yeah...
