They say he was a pillar of industry  Well, God made some pillars, so some must filler be.  Like me, a simple servant of the company  My humble tongue begins his eulogy    When only a small boy with no mother's love  And no answers from the Great Dancer up above  And no firm father to guide him  He watched a wild horse, and longed to ride him    And legend has it that on that day  He planted two tiny feet in that wild horse's way  That mighty stallion with a deathly eye  The stars looked down to watch a child die    But as the horse reared up to crush his tiny bones  Its heart grew cold, cold as river stones  For it saw the steel in the soul of the child  And knew that no more would it run free and wild    And so our hero tamed his untamable horse  That was the beginning of his winning course  And from that moment '''til the end of his days  The people of this land would hear him say    It takes all kinds of people to make a world  It takes all kinds of people to make a world  From the farmer in the field to the spaceman in space  Everybody has a reason, a purpose and place    Well, he was ten he started his first company  Less than five feet tall, but already somebody  By the time he was sixteen he owned a warehouse block  Where he traded in trailers, trucks, lights and livestock    Then came that famous day you all know  He went to buy a hacienda down in Mexico  Fell in love with a se̱ora, begged her to get engaged  The main problem was, she was three times his age    The other problem was, she was already hitched  To a real hijo de puta, a sonofabitch  They agreed to duel in the abandoned aeropuerto  The husband said '''you can have her over mi cuerpo muerto'۝    Our hero said '''S'_ - esto no es muy dif'_cil'۝  Then he shot so fast it looked like his hands were holding still  With his dying eyes the husband looked up to see the circling birds  And then he heard those famous words:    It takes all kinds of people to make a world  It takes all kinds of people to make a world  From the farmer in the field to the spaceman in space  Everybody has a reason, a purpose and place    You know the story as well as I do  But I'll fill in the blanks now - at least I'll try to  He returned to his homeland with his aged bride  Four hundred labourers at his side    He said '''I'll seize the knocking fists of opportunity and history  I shall build an empire of diligence and industry  Shaped like a pyramid, all golden, aglow:  With my office at the apex and the others below!'۝    We all worked together to build his dream  In the swelter of the smelter and the sweat of the steam  Though many hands cramped and many muscles ached  Oh how we laughed on our coffee breaks    For we dreamed of the day when the work would be done  And at last it seemed that great day had come  The pyramid glistened like a golden fire  But he said '''No, it's not high enough, it needs to be higher!'۝    It takes all kinds of people to make a world  It takes all kinds of people to make a world  From the farmer in the field to the spaceman in space  Everybody has a reason, a purpose and place    Now it's true that some grumbled and some were sure  Those famous words were simply a non-sequitur  But with a soft sigh we went back to work for many years  Our families and our fiancÌs collected their heartbroken tears    '''Til one day the unthinkable happened:  Young JosÌ was high up on the scaffold  He screamed like a baby bird abandoned in a tree:  '''''Dios m'_o, muchachos, you must come and see!'۝    There under the cyclops eye of the endless sun  We climbed the scaffolding one by trembling one  Truly it was an evil sight to behold:  There was our jefe, imprisoned in gold.    Murdered with molten metal, now pinned there gruesomely  With only God's unblinking eye and of course us to see  We had to leave his body to the hungry birds  But deep in the pyramid's face we carved these words:    It takes all kinds of people to make a world.
