INTRO
VERSE 1
Short people got no reason, Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason to live
They got little hands and little eyes
And they walk around telling 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
I don't want no short people
Don't want no short people 'round here.
Short people are just the same as you and 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, they stand so low
You got to pick them up just to say hello
They got cars that go beep beep beep
They got little voices going peep peep peep
They got grubby little fingers and dirty little minds
They're gonna get you every time
CHORUS

About this song: Short People
"Short People" is a song by Randy Newman from his 1977 album Little Criminals. The verses and chorus seem to be a pointed attack on the short. The bridge (sung by Glenn Frey), in contrast, states "short people are just the same as you and I." Newman confirms that the song is about "prejudice," as was widely thought, but added that it was "about a lunatic". As with many of his songs, such as "Rednecks", Newman wrote the song from the point of view of a biased narrator.
