Little People [Japanese translation]

They laugh at me, these fellows, just because I am small.

They laugh at me because I'm not a hundred feet tall.

I tell 'em there's a lot to learn down here on the ground.

The world is big but lil' people turn it around.

CHORUS:

A worm can roll a stone.

A bee can sting a bear.

A fly can fly around Versailles 'cos flies don't care

A sparrow in a hat can make a happy home.

A flea can bite the bottom of the Pope in Rome

Goliath was a bruiser who was as tall as the sky.

But David threw a rock and gave him one in the eye.

I never read the Bible but I know that it's true.

It only goes to show what little people can do.

CHORUS

So listen here, professor, with your head in the clouds

It's often kinda useful to get lost in a crowd

So keep your universities – I don't give a damn

For better or for worse, it is the way that I am

Be careful as you go

'Cos little people grow

And little people know

When little people fight,

We may look easy pickings

But we got some bite!

So never kick a dog

Because it's just a pup

You'd better run for cover when the pup grows up

And we'll fight like twenty armies

And we won't give up

CHORUS

A flea can bite the bottom of the Pope in Rome
