Pipe Dream - All Kinds of People Lyrics

1955 Broadway
Pipe Dream the Musical - All Kinds of People Lyrics

The song was written by Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein II.

DOC:
The starfish may look unimportant,
Lying limply on his underwater shelf.
He may look unimportant to you,
But he’s very interesting to himself.

It takes all kinds
Of people to make up a world,
All kinds of people and things.
They crawl on the earth,
They swim in the sea,
And they fly through the sky on wings.
All kinds of people and things,

And brother,
I’ll tell you my hunch:
Whether you like them
Or whether you don’t,
You’re stuck with the whole damn bunch!

I don’t think so much of the buzzard,
He is something I would never like to be.
But who knows what goes on in his mind?
He may think he is superior to me!

You may not admire armadillos,
They’re repulsive
And they lead peculiar lives.
They may not look attractive to you
But they’re very interesting to their wives.

It takes all kinds
Of people to make up a world,
All kinds of people and things.
They crawl on the earth,
They swim in the sea,
And they fly through the sky on wings.
All kinds of people and things,

And brother,
I’ll tell you my hunch:
Whether you like them
Or whether you don’t,
You’re stuck with the whole damn bunch!
