Can't believe it's all still in my head--haven't seen the show in 14
years. I think this is it, though:

Now the world don't move, to the beat of just one drum
What might be right for you, may not be right for some
A man is born, he's a man of means
Then along come two, they got nothin' but their jeans
But it takes diff'rent strokes, it takes
Diff'rent strokes, it takes
Diff'rent strokes to move the world.

Everybody's got a special kind of story
Everybody finds a way to shine
It don't matter what you got, not a lot--so what?
They'll have theirs, you'll have yours, and I'll have mine
And together we'll be fine
'Cause it takes diff'rent strokes to move the world
Yes it does, it takes
Diff'rent strokes to move the world.

I think it went:

Now the world don't move to the beat of just one drum

what might be right for you may not be right for some


A man is born, he's a man of means
Then along come two

they've got nothing but their dreams
It takes Diff'rent Strokes
It takes Diff'rent Strokes
It takes Diff'rent Strokes to move the world


I also vaguely remember hearing that Alan Thicke wrote it.

And my corrections/additions:

But they got diff'rent strokes
It takes diff'rent strokes
It takes diff'rent strokes to move the world.

Everybody's got a special kind of story

Everybody's got a way to shine
It don't matter that you got
Not alot, so what?
They've got theirs and you got yours and I've got mine
But together we'll be fine


Cause it takes diff'rent strokes

It takes diff'rent strokes
It takes diff'rent strokes to move the world


Yes it does, it takes
Diff'rent strokes to move the world.

He did. Thanks for making me remember this. It used to be one of my
favorites!

sorry if someone's already pointed this out, but isn't this word actually
"jeans," as in they've got nothing but the bluejeans on their butts? that's
the way i've always seen it.
