Randy Newman's satirical song uses exaggerated and humorous lyrics to criticize prejudice and absurd stereotypes. Despite the literal focus on short individuals, it's a metaphor for broader societal discrimination and the irrational nature of bigotry. The exaggerated descriptions of "short people" and their supposed flaws are intentionally absurd, highlighting how unfounded stereotypes can be. Newman's sarcastic tone underscores the ridiculousness of judging others based on superficial traits. The song serves as a clever critique of prejudice in general, wrapped in a catchy, ironic tune 😄. #Satire #AntiDiscrimination
Short People
Lyrics
Short people got no reason
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 got 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
