VERSE 1
A                F#m        B7               E7sus4
Short people got no reason, Short people got no reason
A                F#m        B7         E7sus4
Short people got no reason to live
         A                A7
They got little hands and little eyes
         D                   F7
And they walk around telling great big lies
         A                A7
They got little noses and tiny little teeth
          D                      F7
They wear platform shoes on their nasty little feet


      A       F#m     B7    E7sus4
Well, I don't want no short people
A       F#m      B7   E7sus4
I don't want no short people
A     F#m      B7   E7sus4        A F#m B7 E7sus4
Don't want no short people 'round here.

D                C#m              Bm      Asus2             D
Short people are just the same as you and I (A fool such as I)
            C#m                Bm
All men are brothers until the day they die
Asus2            A
It's a wonderful world.

                 F#m     B7               E7sus4
Short people got nobody, Short people got nobody
A                F#m       B7      E7sus4
Short people got nobody to love
         A                      A7
They got little baby legs, they stand so low
           D                    F7
You got to pick them up just to say hello
         A            A7
They got cars that go beep beep beep
         D                   F7
They got little voices going peep peep peep
         A                         A7
They got grubby little fingers and dirty little minds
D                     F7
They're gonna get you every time
CHORUS

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.
