 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
 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)_
