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 Wow, some people actually took offense to this?!?!?! | Reviewer: Short Jen | 9/26/2008 Oh the irony... | Reviewer: Sycamore Flint | 9/19/2008 It's a good catchy song about small-minded people - but ironically is taken literally BY small-minded people. It's not the artist's fault if some people use it to taunt others. I agree with one of the earlier posts - there's far too much manufactured outrage, thanks to some people who seek out reasons to be offended. are you serious? | Reviewer: Nicole | 9/19/2008 this is unbelievable. seriously, who cares if your short or tall? i have frieds that are really short, and some that are really tall and both have their advantages/disadvantages. get over youselves. offense? you'd have to be mentally challanged to believe that short people have to reason to live. and btw, randy newman is short so um obviously he doesn't want short people to die. so get over the fact if people use to make fun of you because your short/tall. its in the past, and randy wasnt trying to make fun of everyone. why dont you go listen to some lil wayne. then complain about this song. ..... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/1/2008 i think this song is hilarious. i am 5'11 and people are always telling me that i am a giant. i hate it how short people get offended when they get called short all the time, but when a tall person gets called a giant constantly its fine. so when a really annoying midget comes up to me and says "omg you are huge" i laugh it off because i now they are jealous and i hum this song :) Seriously? | Reviewer: Whit | 8/30/2008 I'm with the last guy, if your offended than you're reading WAY TOO MUCH into a silly little 'ol song. I'm short, the song means jack shit... and it's amusing. Hell, I start humming it anytime I can't reach something! :D But if it's so offensive to you then don't listen to it, dwelling on something so silly is laughable in itself. Irony | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/31/2008 Randy Newman's songs are for the most part ironic or satirical. Rednecks for example is about a man whose proud to be a redneck ironically singing about them being ill educated and racist. Short People as Newman himself said it could be about someone who has an irrational hatred of short people. Newman's songs are typically sung from the perspective of characters, something that most people don't understand because they're not used to that kind of style. Newman's songwriting is just bar and large simply misunderstood when it comes to this song. Haha | Reviewer: Charles | 8/26/2008 You people need serious help, it's a good song, if you don't see the humour then you're too ignorant to function in society, children are listening to much worse music then this, atleast this song doesn't mention sex or drugs. Stupid, Garbage, Extremely Disrespectful and Dehumanizing song ! | Reviewer: short man | 8/22/2008 It so frustrating for me as short person when I hear people say this song is funny and don’t take it seriously. If any short person laugh at this song, it is because they have accepted their Second Class or Third Class status in this extremely cruel and cold society ! As a short stature person nobody’s but me and people like me understand the cruel treatment we receiving for being a true humans!(short stature people). We never take too much of mother earth resources but in fact we gave away a lot. The discrimination, the humiliation and the degradation we short stature people suffer every time and every where is a fact of life. Short stature people scarified so much to change the world for the better. Think about people like, Dr. Martin Luther King, Mother Theresa, Gandhi, Marcus Garvey to name a few. Are this individuals got no reason to live ? If somebody makes a similar comment about people color, sexuality, sex… will it be acceptable ! I don’t know what other people do but personally give me liberty or give me death ! So next time when you play this garbage song around me, remember that “ IT MIGHT COST YOU YOUR LIFE” !!! HILARIOUS | Reviewer: Bee | 8/21/2008 I thought this song was the funniest thing I have ever heard. I am 4'10" and I think some of these things about other short people lol!! SOME OF THEM MAKE YOU WANT TO SING THIS SONG TO THEM LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! I applaud those who understand the satyr | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/24/2008 and... I am completely ashamed of those who are so ignorant they refuse to understand the meaning of this song. My granddaughter absolutely loves it and giggles when we sing it... She gets the sweetest look on her face when we sing the part, "short people are just the same as you and me." Good grief folks, lighten up, laugh and educate yourself on parody and satire before we go to war over something for no reason whatsoever.
