It Takes All Kinds of People to Make a World

[Intro]
Oh

[Chorus]
You know it takes all kinds of people
(To make a world) To make a world (World)
Oh yes, it does (Yes it does)
You know it takes all kinds of people
(To make a world) To make a world (World)
Oh yes, it does (Yes it does)
Listen (The preacher, the baker, the candystick man)
Well, gardener, teacher, lawyer, preacher

[Verse 1]
When we will learn
To live together like sisters and brothers?
When will we turn
Oh, the tide of hate to loving each other?

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, come on and get it together
Open up your mind and you'll discover, ooh

[Chorus]
That it takes all kinds of people
(To make a world) To make a world (World)
Yes, it does (Yes, it does)
You know it takes all kinds of people
(To make a world) Oh, to make a world (World)
Yes, it does, you tell 'em (Yes it does)
(The preacher, the baker, the candystick man) Well
Gardener, teacher, lawyer, preacher

[Verse 2]
Mmm, you can't demand
Mmm, people's respect if you're not gonna give it
And what's the use
Ooh, reading your Bible if you're not gonna live it

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, come on and get it together
Open up your mind and you'll discover

[Chorus]
That it takes all kinds of people
To make a world (World)
Oh, yes, it does (Yes, it does)
You know it takes all kinds of people
(To make a world) To make a world (World)
Oh, yes, it does (Yes it does)

Gardener, teacher, lawyer, preacher

[Bridge]
Aah-hey!
(Doo-doo-doo)

[Pre-Chorus]
So, come on, get up, come on and get it together
Open up your mind and you'll discover

[Chorus]
That it takes all kinds of people
To make a world (World)
Yes, it does (Yes, it does)
You know it takes all kinds of people
To make a world (World)
Oh, yes, it does (Yes it does)

It takes the typist, the chauffeur (It takes all kinds of people)
Talkin' 'bout the real estate broker (To make a world)
The dancer, the singer (It takes all kinds of people)
The square and the swinger (To make a world)
It takes them to make a world

(It takes all kinds of people) It takes all kinds of people
To make a world (To make a world)
Yes, it does
Oh, I know it don't matter what you do (It takes all kinds of people)
Oh, I know it takes, it takes me and you (To make a world)

To make a world (To make a world)
Yes, it does

You know it takes all kinds of people (It takes all kinds of people)
To make the world (To make a world)
Oh, yes, it does

(To make a world) Oh, like sisters and brothers
