“Apples Trees, Honeybees and Snow-White Turtledoves”

“Apples trees, honeybees and snow-white turtledoves” are lyrics from an old Coca-Cola commercial whose lyrics are written by four people: Bill Backer, Billy Davis, Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway. The song is about teaching “the world to sing in perfect harmony,” and it went like this: “I'd like to build the world a home, and furnish it with love…grow apple trees and honey bees, and snow white turtle doves… I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony, I’d like to hold it in my arms and keep it company… I'd like to see the world for once, all standing hand in hand, and hear them echo through the hills, for peace throughout the land.”
