All Kinds Of People

(الألبوم: Wonderful Life - 1964)

If I got a hammer
And you got some wood
Now a hammer alone without no wood
That ain't no good

But put them together
And wham, bam, pow
And that's a house
We're building now

Now I didn't know you
No, you never met me
But here are we in harmony
And there's a new house standing on the ground
For it takes all kinds of people
Working together to make this whole world go 'round

I've got a tractor
And I've got some earth
Now a tractor alone without that earth
Ain't got no worth but

Put them together
And wham, bam, pow
And that's a crop
We're reaping now

And if you live in Spain
Which is over the sea
And we're as British as can be
We prove the truth is simple but profound
For it takes all kinds of people
Working together to make this whole world go 'round

I've got a cup
I've got a saucer
I've got some leaves
Here's hot water
But 'til they get together, there's no tea

I've got a spade
I've got an acorn
I've got some ground
I've used this rake on
But 'til they get together, there's no tree

People and things gotta get together
Though they're birds of a different feather
They've got to get together every chance

You may be Greek or French or Spanish
But you'll make those frontiers vanish
Who needs to know the language
When you dance, when you dance
When you dance you don't need to know the language

Get you, get together, now
We're together now, we're together now
Dance together now

You may Greek or French or Spanish
When you dance, how's your Spanish

We'll dance together and it's true
But must work together, too
If we want a future that is sound
For we found, all we need to succeed
Is all kinds of people working together
To make this whole world go 'round
