Q&A
Arnold, Willis & Mr. Drummond Lyrics
Straight from the ghetto streets of Harlem
Came two brothers Willis and Arnold
Black goldfish swims in the bowl
He's three feet high, four with the afro
Stealing cookies from the jar
Droppin' water balloons on cars
I hope Mrs. Garret won't see
Just play sick for Mohammed Ali
The Gooch is coming,
To steal milk money
Arnold, and Willis, and Mr. Drummond
And don't forget Kimberly
They just cancelled Dukes of Hazzard
Different Strokes is all I want to see
Way up high in the penthouse apartment
Making us laugh its Willis and Arnold
Mr. Drummond's got the dough
They get to ride in a limo
Different Strokes, its almost time
We just watch 'cause Kimberly's fine
Half hour long it never fills us
When he says, "What you talkin' 'bout Willis?"
Write the cable company
Different Strokes all the time
Arnold, and Willis, and Mr. Drummond
And don't forget Kimberly
They just cancelled Dukes of Hazzard
Different Strokes is all I want to see
Mr. Drummond, a man of the means
Loves two black brothers
They've only got the blue jeans
Mr. Drummond, a man of the means
Loves two black brothers
They've only got the blue jeans
Go!
Came two brothers Willis and Arnold
Black goldfish swims in the bowl
He's three feet high, four with the afro
Droppin' water balloons on cars
I hope Mrs. Garret won't see
Just play sick for Mohammed Ali
To steal milk money
And don't forget Kimberly
They just cancelled Dukes of Hazzard
Different Strokes is all I want to see
Making us laugh its Willis and Arnold
Mr. Drummond's got the dough
They get to ride in a limo
We just watch 'cause Kimberly's fine
Half hour long it never fills us
When he says, "What you talkin' 'bout Willis?"
Different Strokes all the time
And don't forget Kimberly
They just cancelled Dukes of Hazzard
Different Strokes is all I want to see
Loves two black brothers
They've only got the blue jeans
Loves two black brothers
They've only got the blue jeans
Go!

its so fast the lyrics dont even sound like words

sorta just a silly song about the show "diff'rent strokes" the last line seems to show that Reese likes the show b/c of the generocity of Mr. Drummond, thanklessly giving to too young black boys in a decade when whites never wanted to help blacks or vice versa.

I think you nailed it......cool name.

one of fiveirons best songs. i love the horn parts.
