short vs. tall

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,
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
They 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.

Tall People

Tall people got no reason
Tall people just ain't God pleasin'
Tall people got no reason to live.

They got giant heads,
And billboard faces,
Elephant teeth
With great big spaces,
Hockey stick legs
Without any hair.
They got skinny little butts
Hangin' in the air.

I don't want no tall people,
No basketball people.
Hooray for short people down here.

Tall people ain't never got no place to sit.
Ain't got a pot.
Their knobby knees squeak and creak a lot.
It's a shoemaker world.

Tall people got nobody
'Cause tall people are all body
Tall people got nobody to love.

They got one big girl
They pass around.
They sit and mope
When she's out of town.

They got king sized beds
With oversized sheets.
Canoe sized shoes
On both their feet.

They got King Kong arms
They drag around.
Their knuckles are sore
From scrapin' the ground.

I don't want no tall people,
No basketball people.
Hooray for short people down here




I just have to tell you how much I just love this song. Every time I hear it, it makes me laugh. My dad first showed me this song about a year or so ago and it has made me smile since then. Last year in theater 2 friends and I got together and lip synced it. It was so much fun. We didn’t get a very good grade but we had fun. The reason we didn’t get a good grade was because the teacher didn’t like me… oh well I can’t please everyone.
