RANDY NEWMAN - SHORT PEOPLE LYRICS

Short People Lyrics

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
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
And they stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That got 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

You guys, this song is not meant to be taken literally. It isn't about people who are physically short- it's about people with small minds. If you note that Newman says, "Short people are just the same as you and I/ (fools such as I)/all men are brothers until the day they die" which says that all men are equal, connected, and can act as fools.

"Short" refers to small, closed minds. Symbolism such as "platform shoes" (perhaps referring to how people sometimes feel the need to stand on their own soapboxs) is employed to prove a point through humor.

So no, this song is not a stab at those who are space-efficient. Like many songs, it uses humor and symbolism to prove an important point.

P.S. I LOVE this song.

I love short people. This song reminds me of The Tim. The Tim is short, but we love him oh-so-much and we respect him because if we don't he beats us up. Like he did Spencer. I love short people....

This song is so funny. It's so stupid that people take this song seriously. I'm only 5'1 and I love this song. The song is about how judgemental people are, and people really think it's dissing short people. That's pretty stupid. I think it's hilarious that people made them take it off the radio stations. It's unbelievable to me... I find it hilarious that people are that stupid.

it IS sad when you think about it, and quite depressing, it's just song, don't like it don't listen, problem solved... but I guess that was just too hard for some people to figure out

How sad it is that people took this song so seriously. Tall=graceful Short=loudmouthed and pushy

short people may be cute, but tall is sexy (hence the average model being taller than 5'7)

TALL People got no reason
TALL People got no reason
TALLPeople got no reason
To live

They got HUGE hands
And UGLY BIG BUG eyes
And they walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got REALLY BIG noses
And HUGE YELLOW teeth
They wear BIG shoes
On their SMELLY CLOWN feet

Well, I don't want no TALL PEOPLE
Don't want no TALL People
Don't want no TALL People
Round here

TALL People are NOT just the same
As you and I
(A Fool Such As YOU)
All TALL men are brothers
Until the day they die
(It's A Wonderful World)

TALL People got nobody
TALL People got nobody
TALL People got nobody
To love

They got BIG FAT HAIRY legs
And they stand so HIGH
THE HAVE TO pick YOU up
Just to say BYE
They got BIG UGLY cars
That got TALL, TALL, TALL
They got RETARDED DEEP voices
Goin' BLAH, BLAH, BLAH
They got GROSS FAT fingers
And STUPID TINY minds
They're GONNA LOSE every time
Well, I don't want no TALL PEOPLE
Don't want no TALL People
Don't want no TALL People
'Round here

Try replacing "short people" with "George Bushes." It's kinda fun!
