I Got a Thing, You Got a Thing, Everybody’s Got a Thing Lyrics

[Hook]
I got a thing, you got a thing
Everybody's got a thing
When we get together, doin' our thing
In order to help each other
In order to help your brother
I got a thing, you got a thing
Everybody's got a thing
When we get together, doin' our thing
In order to help each other
In order to help your brother

[Verse]
You don't drink what I drink
You don't smoke what I smoke
You don't think like I think
You don't joke like I joke

[Hook]
I got a thing, you got a thing
Everybody's got a thing
When we get together, doin' our thing
In order to help each other
In order to help your brother

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
