Yes, here it is:

Short Sighted People got no reason
Short Sighted People got no reason
Short Sighted People got no reason
To live

They got little hands
Little big eyes
They walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet

Well, I don't want no Short Sighted People
Don't want no Short Sighted People
Don't want no Short Sighted People
`Round here

Short Sighted People are just the same
As you and I
(A Fool Such As I)
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(It's A Wonderful World)

Short Sighted People got nobody
Short Sighted People got nobody
Short Sighted People got nobody
To love

They got little baby legs
That stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That go beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin' peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They're gonna get you every time
Well, I don't want no Short Sighted People
Don't want no Short Sighted People

I knew there was a song. But I'll take these $hort $ighted people, any day.
