To live
  C      G
They got little hands

And little eyes
    C7
And they walk around
    C7
Tellin' great big lies
    C7   G
They got little noses
    D

And tiny little teeth
    C7
They wear platform shoes
    C7
On their nasty little feet
      G               D
Well, I don't want no Short People
   Em         C
Don't want no Short People
   G          D
Don't want no Short People

Round here

   G             D
Short People are just the same
   C
As you and I
(A Fool Such As I)

All men are brothers

Until the day they die

Short People got nobody

To love

 C      G
They got little baby legs
   D>>>>>>>>>>>>>
And they stand so low
   D       C7
You got to pick 'em up
 C7>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Just to say hello
 C7       G
They got little cars
  G       D
That got beep, beep, beep
  D       C
They got little voices
 C>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Goin' peep, peep, peep
 C           G
They got grubby little fingers
         D
And dirty little minds
   D           C
They're gonna get you every time

  G                    D
Well, I don't want no Short People
 Em           C
Don't want no Short People
  G             D
Don't want no Short People
    C
'Round here

About this song: Short People

"Short People" is a song by Randy Newman from his 1977 album Little Criminals. The verses and chorus seem to be a pointed attack on the short. The bridge (sung by Glenn Frey), in contrast, states "short people are just the same as you and I." Newman confirms that the song is about "prejudice," as was widely thought, but added that it was "about a lunatic". As with many of his songs, such as "Rednecks", Newman wrote the song from the point of view of a biased narrator.
