Lyrics:
He’s got the whole world in his hands
He’s got the whole world in his hands
He’s got the whole world in his hands
He’s got the whole world in his hands

He’s got you and me, brother, in his hands
He’s got you and me, brother, in his hands
You and me, brother, in his hands
He’s got the whole world in his hands

He’s got the itty bitty baby in his hands
The itty bitty baby in his hands
The itty bitty baby in his hands
He’s got the whole world in his hands

He’s got the man in the white house in his hands
He’s got the man in the white house in his hands
He’s got the man in the white house in his hands
He’s got the whole world in his hands

He’s got the trouble in the far east in his hands
He’s got the trouble in the near east in his hands
He’s got the trouble in the whole world in his hands
He’s got the whole world in his hands

He’s got the flying saucers in his hands
He’s got the flying saucers in his hands
He’s got the flying saucers in his hands
He’s got the whole world in his hands

He’s got the sleeping children in his hands
The sleeping children in his hands
The sleeping children in his hands
The whole world in his hands

He’s got all the people in the far off lands
He’s got the whole world in his hands
