[Verse 1]
[G]Short's Got Round [Em]-O[G][C][Em]
[G]
[C][D][Em][D][Em]
[G][Em][G][C]
[D]As [G]long as I remember,
I've been short and fairly round
[D]My dad[G] says meat and taters,
[Em]that'll get him off the ground
[D]They wor[G]ked on me
till finally my folks begin to fret
[A]Ain't [D]lots of meat and taters,
but I [Em]haven't [D]grown up [Em]yet
[C]Short [Em]stuff[D][Am][C]
[D]Short [C]stuff [D]roundo
[Em]They[D] cal[Em]l me[D]
short stuff roundo
[G]Cause my [D]body's built so [Em]close
to [D]the [G]ground[C][Em][G][D]
I [G]saw a real nice girl one night
while [Em]I was at[G] a dance
[D]She was[G] the high class social type,
could see it at a glance
[D]I a[G]sked if I could take her home,
now get her answer, [D]please
[A]I d[D]on't go out with strangers,
[Em]now get up off y[D]our [C]knees
Short [A]stuff[C][Am]
[A]Short [G]stu[D]ff rou[Em]ndovers
[D]They call me short stuff roundovers
My body's built so [Em]close to the ground
[C][Edim][Em]
[D][Am][D][Em]
[D]I wen[G]t into a tailor shop
to get myself a suit
[C]I picked some g[G]one materiel,
it cost a [C]lot of loot
[D]The man[G] who fit the trousers
asked me in complete despair
[A]Could you [D]show me where
your torso stops,
your legs should start in [C]there
Short Stuff,
[Am]Short [C]Stu[G]ff [C]Roundo[D]
[Em]They[D] call me Short Stuff Roundo
Cause my body's built so [Em]close to
[D]the [Em]ground[G][Em][D][G]
[D]I'm [G]standing by the bus stop
down at 7th and Moline
[D]The [G]cat who sells the paper
starts
to give me this routine
[D]I'd lik[G]e to ask a question,
says he, leaning against a pole
[D]Hav[Am]e you[D] been sodding half
or are you standing in a [C]hole?
Short [A]Stuff[C][Am][C]
[Em]Short [G]Stu[C]ff Rou[D]ndo[Em]
[D]They call me Short Stuff Roundo
Cause my body's built so
[Em]close to the [G]ground[C]
[G]Come on, get up off your knees!
