Lyrics

Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason to live
They've got, little hands
Little eyes
They walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
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've got little baby legs
They stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello
They've got little cars
That go beep, beep, beep
They've got little voices
Goin' peep, peep, peep
They've 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
