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
I spent a lovely boyhood
hitching rides on passing trains
I was lying near the windows
with my aches against the panes
but now...
I'm sitting on a houseboat
tied to a wharf
come and see me today
sitting on a houseboat
I got married to a dwarf
come and see us anyway
I married a midget
why not?
I thought about it an awful lot
and I couldn't think of any reason that
didn't seem small
and when I thought just a little more
about it
I couldn't think of any reason at all
Keep on your toes
My midget bride
You're just as tall as a rose
and three dozen wide
when folks come over, Margie, honey
you don't have to hide
I love you little midget
every way that we've tried...
-------------
and then we go walking, hand in ankle
down to the dock
ready to sail away
walking hand in ankle
she's got her arm around my sock
ready to sail away today
