All Kinds of Kinds
Miranda Lambert
Capo 3
Ilsa was an acrobat
Who went and fell in love with that
Horatio the human cannonball
A wedding 'neath the big-top tent
With Barkers, clowns and elephants
Sideshow and the oddities and all
The dog-faced 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
With closets full of skeletons
And dresses that he wore on Friday nights
Phyllis was a pharmacist
A dab of that a pinch of this
Concoted to suppress her appetite
And when the children were fiddlin'
She'd slip 'em some Ridalin
And wait for thomasina to arrive
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
From 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 bush-lee population sign
Ever since the beginning to keep the world spinning
It takes all kinds of kinds
Some point the finger let ignorance linger
If they'd look in the 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
