Song Lyrics

Say we're gonna spread the love epidemic
All around the world
People, now spread it to every man
Boy, woman and girl

Listen people

It's gonna make you love me, brother
And put a smile on your face, oh
Make you forget about colors
Think about the human race

There won't be no need for medication, no, no, no
'Cause there won't be no disease or contamination
Ooh, all we need is your participation, yeah, people
Then we all can reunite this nation, oh

Spread the love epidemic all around the world
People, now spread it to every man
Boy, woman and girl, it's alright

Alright, listen

It's gonna make you love your neighbor
Treat all your enemies kind
People, show the world that you're able
Get along with all mankind

This epidemic is a great prescription, yeah
To relieve us from this hate condition
Ooh, sooner as we all learn to love and share
People, it's alright, problems of this world will disappear
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Spread the love epidemic all around the world
People, now spread it to every man
Boy, woman and girl, oh, spread it, alright, yeah

Oh, we're gonna spread it in Chicago
And over in St. Louis, come on
New York City, come on
And feel it in Dallas too, oh

Man or farmer, yes, we are
Texas too, y'all
We got to spread it, ooh, yeah
We got to spread it now, now

We're gonna spread it, come on
We're gonna spread it, yes, we are
We just gonna spread it, we are
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's alright

Miami, Florida, it's alright
I'm just a G A O
Detroit City, yo
Goin' out to L.A., yeah

San Francisco, yeah
Take me home, it's alright
We're gonna spread this now
Just love your neighbor, yeah
Come on

Now you're in this too, yeah, yeah, yeah
We just gonna spread this now
Oh, this love epidemic, oh yeah
Love your brother now
Hey, and sister too, yeah, yeah
