Well it takes all kinds to make a world
Big and little, men and women, boys and girls
And l'm the kinda guy hard luck sure gives a whirl
But l 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 burnt down
I took his hand and offered him my sympathy
Then suddenly l remembered that he lived with me

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

Well l wrecked the heck out of my pretty car today
It was a total loss and l had to walk home all the way
Then a 'phone call said you're holding ticket seventeen
You lucky boy, you've won a tank of gasoline

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

Last night l had the pleasure of her company
She said she'd like to see a whole lot more of me
And l spent money like l had my pockets full
Now ask me how it feels to try to see through wool

Chorus to fade
