Hap Palmer - Everyone Can Be a Helper lyrics

Everyone can be a helper
There's something everyone can give
When we learn to work together
The world's a better place to live
Who grows the food we eat each day?
Who comes to haul the trash away?
Who totes a sack and brings the mail?
Who takes a robber off to jail?
Who treats the sick to make them well?
Who helps us learn to read and spell?
Who hauls goods from town to town?
Who makes repairs when a car breaks down?

Who cuts hair and keeps it neat?
Who cooks the food when we're out to eat?
Who mows lawns and pulls out weeds?
Who writes the words in the books we read?
Who moves dirt with a big machine?
Who takes pictures for a magazine?
Who sells flowers in a big bouquet?
Who cleans teeth and prevents decay?

Who sews pants, a dress or blouse?
Who saws wood and builds a house?
Who cleans pipes and clears a drain?
When we travel by air who flies the plane?
Who designs radios, roads and cars?
Who studies galaxies, planets and stars?
Who installs switches, plugs and wires?
Who saves lives and puts out fires?
