[Verse 1]
I can be right, I can be wrong
My own beliefs are in my song
A butcher, a baker, a drummer and then
Makes no difference what group I'm in
Cause I am everyday people

[Pre-Chorus 1]
There is a blue one who can't accept the green one
For living with a fat one, who's trying to be a skinny one

[Hook]
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo
Ooh, sha sha
We got to live together

[Verse 2]
I am no better and neither are you
We are the same whatever we do
You love me, you hate me, you know me and then
Can't figure out the bag I'm in
But I am everyday people, yeah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus 2]
There is a long hair that doesn't like the short hair
For being such a rich one, that will not help the poor one

[Chorus]
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo
Ooh, sha sha
We got to live together

[Pre-Chorus 3]
There is a yellow one that won't accept the black one
That won't accept the red one, that won't accept the white one

[Chorus]
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so forth and scooby dooby doo
Ooh, sha sha
We got to live together
Cause I am everyday people
I am everyday people

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
