I can be right, I can be wrong
|
My own beliefs are in my song
|
The butcher, the baker, a drummer and then
|
Makes no difference what group I'm in
|
Cause I am everyday people, mmm
|
|
There is a blue one who can't accept a green one
|
For living with a fat one who's trying to be a skinny one
|
Different strokes for different folks
|
And so on, and so on and scooby-dooby-doo
|
|
Ooh, sha, sha
|
We got to live together
|
|
I am no better, and neither are you
|
We are the same, whatever we do
|
You love me, you hate me, you know me and then
|
You can't figure out what bag I'm in
|
|
But I am everyday people, mmm
|
|
There is a long hair that doesn't like the short hair
|
For being such a rich one that will not help the poor one
|
Different strokes for different folks
|
And so on and so on and scooby-dooby-doo
|
|
Ooh, sha, sha
|
We got to live together
|
|
There is a yellow one that won't accept a black one
|
That won't accept a red one that won't accept a white one
|
Different strokes for different folks
|
And so on, and so forth and scooby-dooby-doo
|
|
Ooh, sha, sha
|
We got to live together
|
Cause I am everyday people
|
I am everyday people
|
