Milton sings “Two Kinds of People” to the boys at the Hershey Industrial School For Boys.
VERSE:
Givers and takers.
Menders and breakers.
I’d rather be a giver.
I’d rather be a river,
Of good tidings and cheer,
Not anger and fear.
CHORUS:
If one person, doesn’t help you out.
Someone else will help, without a doubt.
There are two kinds of people in this world.
VERSE:
Lovers and haters.
True friends and traitors.
I’d rather be a lover.
I’d rather rediscover
All the joy I can find
With real peace of mind.
CHORUS:
If one person, doesn’t understand.
Time will teach them well; soon they learn firsthand.
There are two kinds of people in this world.
BRIDGE:
Do unto others
As you would have them
Do unto you.
Since I was a boy,
I always knew
The Golden Rule is true.
VERSE:
Boasters and preachers.
Then, there are teachers.
I’d rather be a mentor.
I’d rather be a presenter
Of results that make good.
Oh, like each man should!
CHORUS:
If one person, doesn’t stand up straight.
Be the one who does, and do not debate.
There are two kinds of people in this world.
TAG:
There are two kinds, two kinds, two kinds,
Two kinds of people in this world.
