"Short People" is a song by Randy Newman from his 1977 album, Little Criminals. With lyrics demeaning to short people, the song was intended by Newman to be a satire about prejudice more broadly.[2] As with many of his songs such as "Rednecks", Newman wrote the song from the point of view of a biased narrator.
