I got plenty of money Got my bills all paid I got money that the government Don't even know was made But I'm a little . Short! Short! Short! Short! Short! Short! Short! A little short on love But not for long She's a-comin' home I was so tall in high school In sports, I was a crook I was so hot, I had to squat To shoot a hook But I'm a little short . Now I've got wheels a-rollin' Any kind your heart desires I got: bicycle, tricycle, motorcycle Baby buggy, lawn mower, skates Wheel barrow, boat trailer, tractor scooter And a brand new Cadillac with a-white wall tires But I'm a little short . She left me on Monday morning I was a mess by Monday night I'm six foot, eleven: that's an inch under seven But that don't cut no ice When you're a little short .
