[Verse 1]
Oh, the rich people want what the poor people's got
And the poor people want what the rich people's got
And the skinny people want what the fat people's got
And the fat people want what the skinny people's got
[Chorus]
You can never please anybody in this world
[Verse 2]
The short people want what the tall people's got
And the tall people want what the short people's got
The little kids want what the big kid's got
And the big kids want what the little kid's got
[Chorus]
You can never please anybody in this world
[Bridge 1]
Oh, the girls with short hair want long hair
And the girls with long hair want short hair
Oh, the boys with cars want motorcycles
And the boys with motorcycles want cars
[Chorus]

And the poor people want what the rich people's got
And the skinny people want what the fat people's got
And the fat people want what the skinny people's got
[Chorus]
You can never please anybody in this world
