You love me, you hate me, you know me and then
Different strokes for different folks
(Ooh sha sha)
Then it's the new man that doesn't like the short man
Different strokes for different folks
A butcher, a banker, a drummer and then
I am no better and neither are you
We gotta live together
We're all the same whatever we do
Still can't figure out the scene I'm in
That won't accept the red one, that won't accept the white one
(Ooh sha sha)
Makes no difference what group I'm in
And so on and so on and scooby dooby dooby
We got to live together
There is a yellow one that won't accept the black one
Then it's the blue ones who can't accept the green ones
Different strokes for different folks
I am everyday people
I am everyday people
(Ooh sha sha)
For being such a rich one that will not help the poor one
And so on and so on and scooby dooby dooby
For living with the black ones, tryin' to be a skinny one
(Ooh sha sha)
Ooh sha sha
I am everyday people
So on and so on and scooby dooby dooby
