Randy Newman - Short People Lyrics
Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
To live
Little eyes
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
'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
That 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

Randy Newman Short People Comments
This is better for toy story makes the movie more edgy
I heard the first thing Randy Newman does every morning is drop kick a midget.
This song is dedicated to my-best friend she’s tiny with a filthy mind 💖
This song it seems is about little people or midget
I am short 5 " 2" but not too short.
I’m 5’10 and proud
I completely agree with Randy Newman. Short people should be exterminated.
Such a PC incorrect song wouldn’t fly now, because free speech is no longer welcome
Actually, i was looking for Joe Cocker and Rany Newman n the studio 'keep your hat on'
From a family of short people, I love this
I'm 6'4" and I am okay with this song. My wife doesn't like it when I play it in my car but she's too short to reach the radio buttons.
THANK YOU!!!!!!
Um rude
OK Shorty . Racist
I don't get it. So is this song hating on short people, or just saying that there people too. Anyone?
It's satire - just for laughs.
@Brian Franson Hmm interesting humor. So if you put black people, overweight people, flat titied woman, gays, lesbians, bi's or transexuals infront of any of those lyrics immediately it's an inapropriate song. And all the spiritually centered people of the world will be in an absolute uproar that something this hateful, and outright discriminatory is being written about a group of people. "Shame Shame Shame" they'll cry and picket with signs. But it's all good if there talking and writing these things about someone who had absolutely no choice to there physical stature. Should someone who isn't blessed in the stature department have there minds raped and there spirits defiled for just being alive. And let's be clear, there not kidding in this song. Interesting, interesting indeed. This is a most peculiar and mysteriously odd reality in which we live. Brian Franson, i ain't putten no shit on you brother. Just sayin, it don't make no sense. Cheers...well only if there tall enough.
Manlets, when will they learn?
Taller people know not to mess with us short people in 2019. We like violence
you people terrify me
now WHAT THE HELL IM FEMALE IM A KID BITCH I CAN FIGHT
I've never heard of this Song. OMG. You literally have to see it to believe it. And, Why did they make this song again??? #iwishineverclickedthis #iloveshortpeople
This song is about Robert Di Nero
this song is way to short
I remember when this was on the radio.
Casey Kasem's Top 40 countdown. Saturdays I think. 1977 The Year of Star Wars
He's not talking about SHORT people as in HEIGHT. He's talking about PETTY PEOPLE. As in little or petty.
Short people don't need to get down on their knees to suck it
Hey there rova come on ova
Nobody:
Fat bitches on tinder:
We're not short ... We're just space efficient...
Curb handball anyone?
Cancel culture come for Randy yet? LULZ
I loved this song when I was a young girl
My mom is short
DON'T WANT NO KOICHI! DON'T WANT NO KOICHI! DON'T WANT NO KOICHI 'ROUND HERE!
This man copyrighted monsters inc earape
i always thought this song was about demons..you know ,the damned souls running around, with no reason ,or hope for that matter...
Who's here from Lugwig Ahgren ?(╯°□°)╯︵(\ .o.)\
This a Bruce Springsteen, right?
Idk why I always thought it was phil collins singing and not randy newman
The next genocide
My friend took me to a bar and asked me to play this on the jukebox. The patrons went Wooooooo! and a little old lady came out from behind the bar and asked Who played this song? I raised my hand and she ordered me over to the jukebox. She bent me over and spanked my ass with a paddle super hard.
They wish they were tall
There's a lot of short people that clearly missed the message of this song!
Lol he got hit a lot with rotten fruit on his tour! Short people took it hard😎
This was gay
no reason to live, huh? Well, I'm short, does that mean I should kill myself?
Liam Oihan Sadlier Puy No
"Whazz up, SHO?"
Nobody:
Girls on Tinder:
😂😂😂😂
Hey if it wasn’t for short people
There would be no tall people...
Here...Here! 👏 Well said! As the short 5'4" mom of a 6'1", size 13 shoe, 15 year old Giant (🥰👨👧), I'm ready to testify to your words Loll Just need to chat first with Gene Simmons & the guys from Kiss (❤💋) , for best advice on platform boot heights 😂👍
Evan Eckenrode heard this and tried to shove himself down Logan's throat in dismay.
Happy Birthday Randy Newman November 28th!!!! This is a cool video I just watched it. Thanks I LOVED this song SO much in the 70s because short people really annoyed me and today not so much but STUPID MEAN RETARDS annoy me and they Don't have any reason to live so could you make an updated version for me about asshole-moron type people? Thanks. Patti
If Napoleon was still alive, he'd hate this.
Argent Beard it’s actually a common misconception about Napoleon being short because of how the French used their own measurement system at the time. He was 5’7 which was a average height during his time. I’m short so I would know...
@richard ross 5' 7" in elevator heels. :)
"Short people got no body" damn bro Edit; wait....
Happy 76th birthday and Thanksgiving to the Successful Randy Newman!
An American treasure!
Sung by Danny Devito as a joke
Singing in the eyes of a pin head, Newman could have written. MIDGETS GOT NO REASON
Why do i love this song im 5'2 😂😂
Steveterreberry brought me here
I wanna hang out with randy Newman!
Without reading other comments first let me say this: I was very young when this song came out and never really listened to all the lyrics. Back then it was a poke fun song to me. If you listen closely you realize it is a euphamism for any group of people youi want find fault with and to hate. Actually Randy Newman spoke volumes in just a few words. So glad I caught up with you man. Dale. PS what strain was that? Joke
Pretty cool to see the behind the scene stuff of the recording.
As a little kid I got bullied for being really tall. Now I’m happy I’m tall.
He sounds like he sung toy story
Serti William the 7th he did lmao
1:10 it starts
Actually, at 0:54
Will Sasso had so much hair back then.
I'm here because of that XD
I dont know why everyone keeps saying the lyrics are "short people." All I hear is "Ludwig ahgren."
Cash Masters *lugwig
Spitting straight facts dat boy 5'2
Hardest diss of the century...
I WILL SUE YOU FOR MAKING THIS!
Chill out it's about the stupidity of discrimination
This is fucking great while stoned.
The good days people could still take a joke in the US... I miss these times
the reply from people who could barely reach his album was a little much
Me and you both. I would go back to the 70s or 80s Tomorrow if given a choice.
I know that this song is supposed to be a joke about children, but when I was younger, I vowed that if I ever met Randy Newman, that I was going to punch him in the face.
Does he sing that song. - Welcome Back Kotter
This is Ben Shapiro's theme song.
Song starts at 0:54
Short people are the last ones to find out it is raining
The world needs more Randy Newman songs. I love this song.... I'm 5'2. If you can't laugh about yourself, what can you laugh at?!
I’m 5’2’’ as well. SHORT PEOPLE UNITE!!!!
Others. I can laugh at others
Offended
opssieeeeee!
This song makes me feel better after a certain person pisses me off bout three times a week at work.
People as ugly as this guy have no reason to complain about anybody's appearance.
This guy is dead now. Burn in hell flea bag!
Great song lambasting (in a reverse way) prejudice. Newman is a voice decrying prejudice. Bravo, Mr. Newman.
Next song : thick glasses people
The Little Rascals anyone?
I’m 5’ and i love this song with my whole hearf
Nigga learn how to speel
I hearf you, nigga...
Who came after Drake Bells live stream?
Satirical, funny, kinda mean. But then people weren't snowflakes back then. A musician just told me about this song. So had to check it out.
Well damn!
"Short people have no reason to live"
Suicidal teens: "He's right"
*picks up gun
I'm 11 years old and I'm non binary. The average height for 11 year old girl is 4'8 and the average height for 11 year old boy is 4'10 and I'm 4'9 so I have no problem with my height cus I'm non binary and I'm in between the average height for 11 year old boy and girl.
😅😅😅...not allowed in today's world...but SO FUNNY...im a short people...4'11
Ironically, Randy has really small eyes. How does he see out of them?
ironic a little people get singled, however some of the nastiest souls ever to exist on the face of the earth and the meanest things ever done , aren't by short people! Character, values and morals, can not be measured in a height of a human being!!
I was hoping this would be the angry bagel boss guy theme song.
Michael gave me a list of his top ten Springsteen songs. Three of them were Huey Lewis and the news, one was Tracy Chapman Fast Car, and my personal favorite, Short People.
IM ANGRY
Hahahahaha /LOVE THIS SONG SOOOOO MUCH!!!!
I am a tall woman and I can tell you that short men are very, very resentful and if they are your boss than they are out to get you.
Nancy Desch thanks for proving the songs point, jackass.
All you fucking little midgets need to get off your high horse because its meant in a figurative sense, intending to poke fun at people who are short-tempered and smallminded... which I guess you would still qualify as small minded
Walking down the road! Left foot, right foot. Left foot, right foot.
