I remember that..It was a nice commercial
Here are the lyrics
The link below has someone singing it.
I'd like to buy the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees
And snow white turtle doves.
Chorus:
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to buy the world a Coke
And keep it company
That's the real thing.
(Repeat chorus)
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to buy the world a Coke
And keep it company
That's the real thing
Chorus 2:
What the world wants today
Coca-Cola (background)
Is the real thing
(Repeat chorus 2)
What the world wants today
Coca-Cola (background)
Is the real thing
I'd like to teach the world to sing
Sing with me (background)
In perfect harmony
I'd like to buy the world a Coke
And keep it company
That's the real thing
(Repeat chorus)
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to buy the world a Coke
And keep it company
That's the real thing.
(Chorus 2)
What the world wants today
Coca-Cola (background)
Is the real thing
(Repeat chorus 2)
What the world wants today
Coca-Cola (background)
Is the real thing

I remember it well. It was recorded by the New Seekers and the Hillside Singers in 1972 as "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing(In Perfect Harmony) The New Seekers record went to the Top 10.
Those were definitely more innocent times. I'm afraid today that song would be considered too unsophisticated and corny.

"I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony)" is a pop song which originated as an advertising jingle, produced by Billy Davis and sung by The New Seekers, for Coca-Cola, and was featured in 1971 as a TV commercial.
The Hillside Singers also had a hit with the song around the same time.
