Lyrics
I wouldn't want to watch the same old show, all day long, on t.v.
I wouldn't want to eat the same old meal, every night, it's not for me...
If everybody dressed the same -
how could we choose sides to play a game?
(chorus)
variety makes the world go 'round
variety gives us different sounds,
variety means that you & me don't have to look the same to be friends...
----------------------------------------
If every neighborhood all looked the same, I couldn't find my way home again.
If every single color ceased to be, we couldn't use our eyes to see.
There wouldn't be a day or night...
no rainbows, crayons or traffic lights..................(chorus)
(coda)
DON'T HAVE TO LOOK THE SAME TO BE FRIENDS (many X)
