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

You can never please anybody in this world

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

You can never please anybody in this world

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

You can never please anybody in this world

It doesn't matter what you do
It doesn't matter what you say
There will always be
One who wants things the opposite way

It doesn't matter where you go
It doesn't matter who you see
There will always be
Someone who disagrees

We do our best
We try to please
But we're like the rest
Whenever at ease

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

You can never please anybody in this world

Some kids do as they please
They don't know what life really means
They don't listen to what the ones who really care have to say
They just go and do things their own way

Who are parents?
Parents are the ones who really care
Who are parents?
Parents are the ones who are always there

Some kids think their parents are cruel
Just because they want them to obey certain rules
They start to lean from the ones who really care
Turning, turning from the ones who will always be there

Who are parents?
Parents are the ones who really care
Who are parents?
Parents are the ones who are always there

Parents do understand, parents do care
We must remember
Parents are the ones who will always understand
Parents are the ones who really care

Parents do understand, parents do care
We must remember
Parents are the ones who will always understand
Parents are the ones who really care

Who are parents?
Parents are the ones who really care
Who are parents?
Parents are the ones who are always there

(repeat chorus twice)

My pal's name is Foot Foot (Foot Foot)
He always likes to roam
My pal's name is Foot Foot (Foot Foot)
I never find him home

I go to his house
Knock at his door
People come out and say
Foot Foot don't live here no more

My pal Foot Foot (Foot Foot)
Always likes to roam
My pal Foot Foot (Foot Foot)
Now he has no home

Where will Foot Foot go
What will Foot Foot do
Oh, Foot Foot
I wish I could find you

I've looked here, I've looked there
I've looked everywhere
Oh, Foot Foot
Why can't I find you?

Foot Foot, where can you be?
Foot Foot, why won't you answer me?
Foot Foot, Oh Foot Foot
Wherever you are
I want you to come home with me

I don't have time to roam
I have things to do
I have to go home
Oh, Foot Foot, where are you?

If Foot Foot didn't like to roam so well
He would still have a place to dwell
Foot Foot, please answer me
I know where you are
You're behind that tree

Foot Foot, please come to me
Foot Foot, now that you're here
Won't you come home
Foot Foot, promise me this
That you will never again roam

You're such a sweet thing
(Sweet thing, sweet thing)
But you can be so mean
You're such a sweet thing
(Sweet thing, sweet thing)
You used to make me dream

But then there's times when you are very different
I just don't understand
How a minute you can be so mean
The next minute so grand

You used to make me happy
Now you make me sad
You've told me many lies
I've never told you one

You think you'll fool me
(Fool me, fool me)
So go and have your fun
I'll play it cool and go along with you

You ran around and think that I don't know
You must think you put on quite a show
But you're turn's coming
(Coming, coming)

There'll be some girl who will hurt you
(Hurt you, hurt you)
The way you have hurt me
And then you'll be the one who's sad and blue
And then you'll see how you made me feel

In the end you will find
I was only trying to be a friend
In the end you will see
That I'm not the fool
But it's you, yes, you're the fool

Then maybe you'll consider others
And try to be true
If you did that in the first place
You wouldn't be so blue

You were such a sweet thing
(Sweet thing, sweet thing)
But now you are very mean
You were such a sweet thing
(Sweet thing, sweet thing)
But now you'll never make me dream

You'll never make me dream

It's Halloween
It's Halloween
It's time for scares
It's time for screams
It's Halloween
It's Halloween

The ghosts will spook
The spooks will scare
Why, even Dracula will be there

It's time for games
It's time for fun
Not for just one
But for everyone

The jack-o-lanterns are all lit up
All the dummies are made and stuffed
By just looking you will see
It's this time of year again

It's Halloween
It's Halloween

All the kids are happy and gay
There doesn't seem to be a cloud in their way
But when it's over and they've had all their fun
They'll wish that Halloween had just begun

Oh, there are witches, goblins, vampires, devils, Frankensteins and zombies
And there are tramps, Cinderallas, pirates, angels and gypsies
So let's have lots of fun and give many cheers
For Halloween comes but once a year

It's time for games
It's time for fun
Not for just one
But for everyone

It's Halloween
It's Halloween
It's Halloween
It's Halloween

It's Halloween!

Why does the world go unholy (?)
Why does everyone fight more and more
Don't they know we have a saviour
All we have to do is believe and pray

Why must we go unheathen (?)
Why does anyone have to run (?)
Don't they know we have a saviour
That's what God told us guys (?)

I often sit and wonder
Why people do the things they do
And I can't understand, no I can't understand
Why they don't have faith in the Lord, like I do

Why do the people go on killing
Why do they feel sad and blue
Don't they know we have a saviour
Just watching over me and you

I often sit and wonder
Why people do the things they do
And I can't understand, no I can't understand
Why they don't have faith in the Lord, like I do

Why do the people go on killing
Why do they feel sad and blue
Don't they know we have a saviour
Just watching over me and you

Don't they know we have a saviour
All we have to do is believe and pray
