[G][C][G][C][Bb][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]I walk in,
[B]I ain't too dumb
I [Em]know I got some handicaps
[C]t'o[G]vercome
[C]I mean y'seen one midget,
[G]y'seen 'em all[E]
[A]Oh yeah, mid[D]get, oh [C]yeah, sma[Bm]ll

[Verse 2]
[G]And that's as far as you[B] can see
[Em]Is that the sum
And total [C]substance of [G]me?
Midgets [F]dwarfs [G]chimps in a z[E]oo
[A]They all look ali[D]ke to [G]you[C][Bb][D]

[Verse 3]
[G]Well listen [B]good 'cause I don't lie
[Em]There's a whole lot more to me
[C]Than meets the [G]eye
[C]And it fills my little soul
[G]with midget hat[E]e

[Verse 4]
[A]The way that people will not learn
[D]To differentiate, [G]yeah, sure midget
That's what you say
And [C]that's as far as [Cm]it goes

[Verse 5]
But have [G]you ever said
That's a [F]Hun[F#]garian m[E]idget?
Or that's [A]a midget
[D]With a wart on [G]his nose?
[E]

[Verse 6]
Have you ever taken the time to notice
A midget with curly hair
It isn't fair, there [A]are skinny midgets

[Verse 7]
Fat midgets, gay midgets, flat midgets
[Bb]There are midgets in deep [D]desp[Dm]air
Half a soul half a brain,
[Bdim]half a heart
[Bb]And twice the pain,
[Dm]sure they're cute[Bdim]
And [Bm]they're a lot [Bdim]of fun

[Verse 8]
[Dm]
But would you want your sister
[Bb]To marry one?
[D]

[Verse 9]
[G]
Midget [B]small, that's it and that's all
[Em]The classification it is made[C][G]
[C]Midget run[G]t, well, now I gotta be blunt[E]
[A]I wish I was born

[Verse 10]
I wish I was [D]born a spade
Sure I would [G]still be a midget
But I would have such
Such beautiful coloration
[Bm]And

[Verse 11]
[C]among my fellow midgets
I would [Cm]be a sensation
[G]Talk about standing out [F]in [F#]the pack
[E]

[Verse 12]
[A]I w[D]ish I was bl[G]ack
Midgets [D]dwarfs chim
[Ebdim]panzees[E][G]
Ain't it all relative
[E]When you[F]'re on [F#]your knees?

[Verse 13]
[G]So don't tell me, don't tell me
[F]About min[F#]orities[E]
[A]I wish to Christ, I wish t[Bb]o Ch[A]rist

[Outro 1]
I was black
[G][C][G][Em][G]
