While most of the world adopted metric for access to the global economy, Brits held on till the 1970s and then reluctantly ditched Imperial to keep in touch with Euro markets.
Also in the 70s, Congress passed an Act declaring metric to be the preferred system, and set to gradual conversion, so sometime this century Lennon's words will come to pass and the world will be as one.

There is a well-known poem by Dorothea Mackellar, describing her love of Australia, which had one verse that goes :
I love a sunburnt country,

I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror
The wide brown land for me!
