Well it takes all kinds to make a world big and little men and women boys and girls
And I'm the kinda guy hard luck sure gives a whirl
But I guess it takes all kinds to make a world

My friend and me went to a picture show in town
They called his name and said his house had just burned down
I took his hand and offered him my sympathy
Then suddenly I remembered that he lived with me
Well it takes all kinds to make a world
[ pa pa pa pa pa ]
Well I wrecked the heck out of my pretty car today
Cause it's a total loss and I had to walk on home all the way
Then a phone call said you're holdin' ticket seventeen
You lucky boy you've won a tank of gasoline
Well it takes all kinds to make a world

Well last night I had the pleasure of her company
She said she'd like to see a whole lot more of me
And I spent money like I had my pockets full
Now ask me how it feels to try to see through wool
Well it takes all kinds to make a world
Yes I guess it takes all kinds to make a world
