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
