Content  –  This clever little song plays with the idea that – as each individual is unique and different – we all have different-ness in common (‘…because I’m different I’m the same as you!’).  A very catchy song with a laid back feel, ideal for KS2 assembly and PSHE.

Lyrics Sample 

Long legs, short legs, brown eyes or blue,

Because I’m different I’m the same as you.

I like carrots but you like stew,

Because I’m different I’m the same as you.

I’m the same as you, the same as you.

Because I’m different I’m the same as you.

I’m the same as you, the same as you.

Because I’m different I’m the same as you.

Brothers, sisters, one or two,

Because I’m different I’m the same as you.

Jewish, Muslim, Christian too,

Because I’m different, I’m the same as you

I’m the same as you... (etc.)

I can jump high.        I can crouch low.

I can walk fast.         I can walk slow.

You’re so different   But I’m different too.

Doesn’t that mean I’m the same as you?
