Subject: CRD: Short People by Randy Newman
This song is by Randy Newman. Album 'Little Criminals'.
Great great lyrics. I heard that when Randy was in Italy he was attacked
by someone who took the lyrics too personally.
If someone knows more about this story, please tell me about it.
Meanwhile here are the lyrics and chords. Any corrections and stuff will
be fairly welcome.
