CWhen only a smaAmll boy with no mother’s love CAnd no answers from tAmhe Great Dancer up above CAnd no firm father tAmo guide him CHe watched a wild horseAm, and longed to ride him FAnd legend has iGt that on that day FHe planted two tiny fGeet in that wild horse’s way FThat mighty stallion with aG deathly eye FThe stars looked down to wGatch a child die CBut as the horse rearAmed up to crush his tiny bones CIts heart grew coldAm, cold as river stones CFor it saw the steel in tAmhe soul of the child CAnd knew that no more wouAmld it run free and wild FAnd so our hero Gtamed his untamable horse FThat was the beginniGng of his winning course FAnd from that moment ‘til Gthe end of his days FThe people of this land woulGd hear him say
[Chorus]

CWell, he was ten he sAmtarted his first company CLess than five feet tAmall, but already somebody CBy the time he was siAmxteen he owned a warehouse block CWhere he traded in trAmailers, trucks, lights and livestock FThen came that fGamous day you all know FHe went to buy aG hacienda down in Mexico FFell in love witGh a señora, begged her to get engaged FThe main problemG was, she was three times his age CThe other problem wasAm, she was already hitched CTo a real hijo de putAma, a sonofabitch CThey agreed to duel iAmn the abandoned aeropuerto CThe husband said “youAm can have her over mi cuerpo muerto” FOur hero said “SGí - esto no es muy difícil” FThen he shot so Gfast it looked like his hands were holding still FWith his dying eGyes the husband looked up to see the circling birds FAnd then he hearGd those famous words:

CYou know the story asAm well as I do CBut I’ll fill in the Amblanks now - at least I’ll try to CHe returned to his hoAmmeland with his aged bride CFour hundred labourerAms at his side FHe said “I’ll seGize the knocking fists of opportunity and history FI shall build anG empire of diligence and industry FShaped like a pyGramid, all golden, aglow: FWith my office aGt the apex and the others below!” CWe all worked togetheAmr to build his dream CIn the swelter of theAm smelter and the sweat of the steam CThough many hands craAmmped and many muscles ached COh how we laughed on Amour coffee breaks FFor we dreamed oGf the day when the work would be done FAnd at last it sGeemed that great day had come FThe pyramid glisGtened like a golden fire FBut he said “No,G it’s not high enough, it needs to be higher!”

[Verse 4]
CNow it’s true that soAmme grumbled and some were sure CThose famous words weAmre simply a non-sequitur CBut with a soft sigh Amwe went back to work for many years COur families and our Amfiancés collected their heartbroken tears F‘Til one day theG unthinkable happened: FYoung José was hGigh up on the scaffold FHe screamed likeG a baby bird abandoned in a tree: F“¡Dios mío, muchGachos, you must come and see!” CThere under the cycloAmps eye of the endless sun CWe climbed the scaffoAmlding one by trembling one CTruly it was an evil Amsight to behold: CThere was our jefe, iAmmprisoned in gold. FMurdered with moGlten metal, now pinned there gruesomely FWith only God’s Gunblinking eye and of course us to see FWe had to leave Ghis body to the hungry birds FBut deep in the Gpyramid’s face we carved these words:
[Chorus 2]
It takes Call kinds of people Am(All kinds of people) It takes Call kinds of people Am(All kinds of people) It takes Call kinds of people Am(All kinds of people) It takes Call kinds of people Amto make a world
