It Takes All Kids to Make a World Songtext
von Roger Miller

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
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


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 17
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 I'm the kinda guy hard luck sure gives a whirl
But I guess 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
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
Yes, I guess it takes all kinds to make a world
