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.

Driving

A couple weeks ago I obtained my driving permit. Driving has always been an excitement for me in my life. For as long as I can remember I have always been counting down. From the years then as time passed it was only months then only days until I could drive. I didn't get my permit on my birthday because I had marching band with Davis High School. Then my parents were at work and didn't get off until the DMV place had closed. So it took me a whole good two weeks until I could get my permit.

When I was filling out the paper work and doing all the tests I was more worried about not passing the eye examine more than the driving test itself. Even though I had only skimmed through the driving book. Anyways when I did the eye exam/ test I passed with flying colors. Well I guess not exactly with fly colors but you know what I mean. So after the paperwork was all done I was sent to go take the test. The test was on a touch screen computer thing, I’m not sure how to explain it, you will just have to see for yourself. So I completed the test and I got 86% on my first time. The lowest you can get to pass is 80% so I did well enough to get my permit.

My first time driving I took my little brother to his soccer game. My dad didn’t feel comfortable with me doing left hand turns on busy streets so he drove on the busy, main streets and then let me take over once the traffic was less traffic. I only drove a little bit that first day but it was really, really, really, really, really, and many more “reallys” fun.

I have gotten a lot more practice sense then. I have driven on busy and congested roads, but I don’t want to drive on the highway or the freeway just yet, I know that I’m not ready for that. But I did go 35 m/h once and that my friend was just about the funniest thing I have ever done. I can’t wait until I can drive on the freeway and the highway. I wish this song was on the radio one of the times I have been driving it would have been so cool.

Well, life's like a road that you travel on

There's one day here and the next day gone

 Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand

 Sometimes you turn your back to the wind

There's a world outside every darkened door

Where Blues won't haunt you anymore

For the brave are free and lovers soar

Come ride with me to the distant shore

We won't hesitate

 To break down the guarding gate

There's not much time left today, yeay

Life is a highway, I wanna ride it

 All night long

 If you're going my way, I wanna drive it

All night long

Through all these cities and all these towns

It's in my blood and it's all around

 I love now like I loved you then

 This is the road and these are the hands

From Mozambique to those Memphis nights

The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights

They knock me down

And back up again

You're in my blood

I'm not a lonely man

There's no load I can't hold

 The road's so rough this I know

I'll be there when the light comes in

Just tell 'em we're survivors

Life is a highway, I wanna ride it

 All night long If your going my way,

I wanna drive it All night long

Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, yeah

Life is a highway, I wanna ride it

 All night long (mmmm yeah)

If your going my way, I wanna drive it

All night long

There was a distance between you and I

 (between you and I) A misunderstanding once

But now, we look it in the eye

Ooooo...Yeah!

There ain't no load that I can't hold

 The road's so rough this I know

I'll be there when the light comes in

 Just tell 'em we're survivors

Life is a highway, I wanna ride it

All night long (all night long, yeah hey)

If your going my way, I wanna drive it

All night long

Life is a highway, I wanna ride it

All night long

If your going my way, I wanna drive it

All night long

Life is a highway, I wanna ride it

 All night long

If your going my way,

 I wanna drive it All night long

Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, yeah
