All Kinds Of People – Cliff Richard (from “Wonderful Life” soundtrack)
By
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
