Poetry in Song II

Artist: Randy Newman

Album: Little Criminals

Title: Short People





short people





Short people got no reason

Short people got no reason

Short people got no reason

To live



They got little hands

Little eyes

They walk around

Tellin' great big lies

They got little noses

And tiny little teeth

They wear platform shoes

On their nasty little feet



Well, i don't want no short people

Don't want no short people

Don't want no short people

`round here



Short people are just the same

As you and i

(a fool such as i)

All men are brothers

Until the day they die



(it's a wonderful world)



Short people got nobody

Short people got nobody

Short people got nobody

To love



They got little baby legs

That stand so low

You got to pick 'em up

Just to say hello

They got little cars

That go beep, beep, beep

They got little voices

Goin' peep, peep, peep

They got grubby little fingers

And dirty little minds

They're gonna get you every time

Well, i don't want no short people

Don't want no short people

Don't want no short people

'round here
