Lyrics for Short People
This is for kids everywhere 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 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 Thank you Thank you Thank you very much, it a I'm happy I was asked to do this because As I said it's a good cause now I hope you all will contribute to that numbers One-eight hundred for kids, mm-mm This another new song, this is a- I had in mind when I wrote this to do a sort of a celebrity anthem It's another good children song in a way I like to get a lot of famous people to do it when I do the video
