Straight from the ghetto streets of Harlem
Come two brothers Willis and Arnold
Black goldfish swims in the bowl
He's three feet high, four with the afro
Stealing cookies from the cookie 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 their money
Arnold, and Willis, and Mr. Drummond
And don't forget Kimberly
They just cancelled Dukes of Hazard
Different Strokes is all I want to see
Way up high in the penthouse apartment
Making us laugh it's Willis and Arnold
Mr. Drumond's got the dough
They get to ride in a limo
Different Strokes, it's 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 Hazard
Different Strokes is all I want to see
Mr. Drumond, a man of the means
Loves two black brothers
They only got the blue jeans
Mr. Drumond, a man of the means
Loves two black brothers
They only got the blue jeans, go!
