Aretha Franklin - Everyday People Lyrics






I am everyday people, yeah yeah
(Yo Gang, let’s kick the ballistics)
Let’s party big time, oh
Get up everybody, Oh whoo yeah
Uh Huh Uh Huh Uh Huh

Sometimes I'm right, I can be wrong
My own beliefs are in my song
A thinker, a banker, a drummer and then
Makes no difference what group I'm in

I am everyday people, yeah yeah

There is a blue one (uh-huh) that don’t accept the green one (what you say)
Crackin’ on the fat one (uh-huh), like I’m about to be a skinny one (oh)
Different strokes for different folks, and so on and so
Scooby dooby doo-yaa-doo-yaa-doo
Oh sha sha - we got to live together

I am no better and neither are you
We’re basically the same whatever we do
First you love me and then you hate me, you think you know me and then
You can't figure out if (in-audible)

I am everyday people, yeah yeah

There is a cone head (uh-huh) that don't accept the dome head (what you say)
Sisters and brothers (uh-huh) let's be cool with each other (oh)
Different strokes for different folks, and so on and so on
Etcetera, etcetera
Oh sha sha - we got to live together, yeah

This track is killin’ me
Lord have mercy

Go go, go queen of soul
Go go, go queen of soul
Go go, go queen of soul
Go go, go queen of soul

There is a yellow one (yellow one)
That ain't into the red one (red one)
We don't about the black one (black one)
Ha, What about white one y'all? (white one)
Different lengths don’t come with no dress
And so on and so on
Scooby dooby doo-bee-doo-yaa-doo

I am everyday people, yeah yeah
I am everyday people, yeah yeah

Wanna take you higher
Higher, Higher

I am everyday people, yeah yeah
I am everyday people, yeah yeah

    The Lady at 0:17 is Lisa Brown who was a Veteran of Three Soaps Guiding Light where she played Nola Reardon and As The World Turns where she played Iva Snyder. She was also on another show called Loving. She returned to Guiding Light the week it got cancelled and she kissed the Sky maybe to Douglas Marland a legendary Soap Writer, if it had been today, she may have kissed the sky to her as well. In The UK she's also revered where her music was featured on EastEnders and Emmerdale.

    Oh here's another fun fact. As you know in the UK she is revered by so many folks. Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Rod Stewart, Ron Wood & Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, and George Michael. Her music was also featured on two UK Soaps. They used "Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves" on a UK Soap Opera Eastenders where The Slater Sisters Lyn, Katherine (Kat) Maureen aka Little Mo, and Zoe and their Grandmother Big Mo where out and got arrested. They were working as Cleaning Ladies and The Song came on. Also, it was used in an Advert aka Commercial for another Soap Opera Emmerdale where Charity Tate was torn between Two Lovers, her Husband Chris and his Sister Zoe.
