Subject: CRD: Short People by Randy Newman
This song is by Randy Newman. I'm not sure about the album name.
Great great lyrics. I heard that when Randy was in Italy he was attacked
by someone who took the lyrics too personally.
If someone knows more about this story, please tell me about it.
Meanwhile here are the lyrics and chords. Any corrections and stuff will
be fairly welcome.
Gil.
Short People - Randy Newman
---------------------------
Intro:
A |
F#m7 |
Bm7 |
E7sus4 | (x2)
Short People got no reason. Short people got no reason
short people got no reason to li - ive. They got
little hands and little eyes
They walk around tell-in' great big lies. They got
little noses and tiny little teeth, they wear
platform shoes on their nasty little feet. Well, I
]Chorus]
Don't want no short people (x2)
Don't want no short people 'round here.
(Repeat Intro once) and go to
Bridge:
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 nobidy to lo - ove. They got
little baby legs and they stand so low
You got to pick them up just to say hello. They got
little cars that go beep beep beep. They got
little voices going 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 (x2)
Don't want no short people 'round here.
(Repeat Intro and fade)_
