Miranda Lambert - All Kinds of Kind lyrics

rate me

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 dap of that a pinch of this

Concocted to suppress her appetite

When the children were fiddlin’

She’d slip them some Ridlin

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
