All Kinds of People

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
