It Takes All Sorts Lyrics by Leslie Bricusse

The Songs from The Land Before Time

1997

[Intro]
It took all kinds of dinosaurs to make up a world
Just like it takes all kinds of people
[Verse 1]
It takes all sorts to make a world
Short and tall sorts, large and small sorts
To fill this pretty planet with love and laughter
To make it great to live in tomorrow and the day after
[Verse 2]
It takes all types, without a doubt
Dumb and wise types, every size types
To do all the things that need to be done
To make our life fun, find our place in the sun
[Refrain]
And the brightest way, the rightest way, according to reports
Is simply to take all sorts
[Verse 3]
It takes all sorts to make our day
Smart and slow sorts, high and low sorts
To make the world wе live in a place worth being
To try and makе our future a future really worth seeing
[Verse 4]
We need all types to make our way
Tried and true types, me and you types
To create a world that's truly worthwhile
That knows how to smile, how to do things in style
[Refrain]
So the surest and securest way which everyone supports
Is simply to take all sorts
