Said the fight to make ends meet
Keeps a man upon his feet
Holding down his job
Trying to show he can't be bought

Oooh, it takes every kind of people
To make what life's about, yeah
Every kind of people
To make the world go 'round

Papadepade, papadepade...

Someone's looking for a lead
In his duty to a King or to a creed
Protecting what he feels is right
Fight against wrong with his life

There's no profit in deceit
Honest men know that revenge does not taste sweet
Whether yellow, black or white
Each and every man's the same inside

Oooh, it takes every kind of people
To make what life's about, yeah
It takes every kind of people
To make the world go 'round
Papadepade, papadepade...

You know that love's the only goal
That could bring a peace to any soul
They, and every man's the same
He wants the sunshine in his name

Oooh, it takes every kind of people
To make what life's about, yeah
It takes every kind of people
To make the world go 'round

It takes every kind of people
To make what life's about, yeah
