Short People Lyrics Artist(Band):Randy Newman
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 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 If you find some error in Short People Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about Short People It's all in your perspective | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/10/2008 Short people | Reviewer: Jan | 6/25/2008 I'm short and when I was younger my older cousin sent me the record in the mail. It was the funniest song to me. I still think it is very funny. I have a very short grandson and I told him about the song and he was laughing. It is just how you view things. I like to laugh than not. I am short | Reviewer: peep | 6/24/2008 I am short and I don't think it's offensive the core message is 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) The rest is offensive if it's taken separately from that part. However, this song can be abused to pick on short people but that was not the singer's intention. Not a Hater | Reviewer: Louann | 5/24/2008 Back when this song was written, there wasn't even an internet, and people didn't have to be SO SO carefull about thier lyrics being analyzed to death. It was just a FUN song. Rhymes with run and gun?.....FUN! So everybody just chill and get the F over it. Not mean | Reviewer: Tall since Birth | 5/6/2008 When I was growing up, being a girl, I always got made fun of for being taller than everyone. Taller than all the boys and all the other girls; to me that's mean! To ease my pain my grandmother (who is 5'1) would sing this song to me to make me laugh and feel better about myself (I'm 6'0). Some say it's mean because they are short, others say it's funny because they are tall (or somewhere in between). this song is mean | Reviewer: tim | 4/26/2008 I hate this song its the meanest thing ive heard in years. I hadnt heard it in years and this week i heard it two times. once was on a bus full of kids and once was with my 12 year old son in the car and he couldnt believe what he was hearing. I really dont know how stupid we couldve been to have allowed something so mean and idiotic on the air. yes yes i am enlightened enough to see the song as a satire and that yes we can discriminate really against any type of person so let pick a group and do it. randy Newman you really should be ashamed of yourself to call yourself a songwriter-you know you really do have a responsibility to a society that makes you rich.and dont think the verse about everybody is a brother redeems that song. you just felt guilty and stuck it in there (which makes it worse its not even an art song anymore it really was mean spirited to begin with so you tried to fix it) or maybe you arent rich maybe youre just a old grey haired man with nobody to love. newman you need to take the song off the air and try to recover what little diginity you have left. Get a grip people! | Reviewer: Twinkthewonderkid | 4/2/2008 Jeez, I swear some people look for things to be offended by. It's a satirical joke! "short people are just like you and me..." just like black people or white people or tall/skinny/bald/French/hairy/whatever... people. The point is that we're all the same underneath and that it's pretty stupid to make rash, idiotic assumptions about people based on their differences to you. I think it's clear in the song that Newman thinks that petty prejudices are moronic. So if, like me, you are short and proud and someone sings this song 'at' you, smile politely and savour the knowledge that they are much dumber than you are because they didn't 'get it'. its just fun,, | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/29/2008 The lyrics are just so funny and outrageous as to be just plain fun. Nobody with an ounce of common sense would believe it true, and if so, the they're the one with egg on their face. A breath of fresh air in this stuffy PC world we've become. u suk | Reviewer: kassidilangelo | 3/25/2008 your poem song or wutever is ridiculous and i am appauled that u would say such things of me!!!!! u suk and u are just jelous!!! i am a midget and offended. i have to stand on a ladder to write this and there is nothing wrong with that. u r just a stupid tall hobo who has no life and nothing better to do than make fun of short people. show some respect u stupid turd.... bye evil short person against person. short people | Reviewer: spencer | 2/29/2008 that is the funniest song i have`ever heard. but i really think this song is meant to short PEOPLE not short in intelligence. we are running out of thingsto write about but this song is so funny my dad toll me about it and i went look it up and laughed the whole time i read it and after it is so so FUNNY!
