All Kinds of Kinds

歌詞

Elsa was an acrobat That went and fell in love with that Horatio, the human cannonball A wedding beneath the big top tent With barkers, clowns, and elephants, Sideshow and the oddities and all The dogface boy Howled out with joy As the tattooed lady was cryin' Ever since the beginning To keep the world spinning It takes all kinds of kinds Thomas was a congressman Whose closet's full of skeletons And dresses that he wore on Friday nights Phyllis was a pharmacist A dab of that, a pinch of this Concocted to suppress her appetite When the children were fiddlin' She'd slip them some Rit'lin And wait for Thomasina to arrive Cuz ever since the beginning To keep the world spinning It takes all kinds of kinds All kinds of kinds When I play this old guitar At children's shows to smoky bars I take a break and think about the past When I stood up in geometry And everybody stared at me And I tossed my test into the trash I scratched off my number While hitching out under That Bushly population sign Ever since the beginning To keep the world spinning It takes all kinds of kinds But at some point the finger Let ignorance linger And if they'd look in a mirror they'd find That ever since the beginning To keep the world spinning It takes all kinds of kinds All kinds of kinds All kinds of kinds Yeah yeah Oh yeah
