Short People
Randy Newman
Intro: A | F#m7 | Bm7 | E7sus4 | (x2)
A F#m7 Bm7 E7sus4
Short People got no reason. Short people got no reason
A F#m7 Bm7 E7sus4
short people got no reason to li - ive. They got
A A7/G
little hands and little eyes
D/F# F7
They walk around tell-in' great big lies. They got
A A7/G
little noses and tiny little teeth, they wear
D/F# F7
platform shoes on their nasty little feet. Well, I
]Chorus]
A F#m7 Bm7 E7sus4
Don't want no short people (x2)
A F#m7 Bm7 E7sus4 A
Don't want no short people 'round here.
(Repeat Intro once) and go to
Bridge:
Dmaj7 A/C# Bm7 D/E
Short people are just the same as you and I (A fool such as I)
Dmaj7 C#m7 Bm7
All men are brothers until the day they die
D/E
It's a wonderful world.
A F#m7 Bm7 E7sus4
Short People got nobody. Short people got nobody
A F#m7 Bm7 E7sus4
short people got nobidy to lo - ove. They got
A A7/G
little baby legs and they stand so low
D/F# F7
You got to pick them up just to say hello. They got
A A7/G
little cars that go beep beep beep. They got
D/F# A7/G
little voices going peep peep peep. They got
A A7/G
grubby little fingers and dirty little minds
D/F# F7
They're gonna get you every time, well I
A F#m7 Bm7 E7sus4
Don't want no short people (x2)
A F#m7 Bm7 E7sus4 A
Don't want no short people 'round here.
(Repeat Intro and fade)

I heard that when Randy was in Italy he was attacked
by someone who took the lyrics too personally.
