Lyrics

Midget

I had the body of a two and a half year-old baby

I had the brain of a man

I used to play underneath my momma's skirts all day

I parked my car in her garage

She didn't know I was a midget

She thought it was all innocent play

She didn't know I was a midget

But when dad came home she put me away

She didn't know I was a midget

She thought it was all innocent play

She didn't know I was a midget

But when dad came home she put me away

She didn't know I was a midget

She thought it was all innocent play

She didn't know I was a midget

But when dad came home she put me away

She didn't know I was a midget

She thought it was all innocent play

She didn't know I was a midget

But when dad came home she put me away

Hey, hey, oh, ho

I had the body of a two and a half year-old baby

I had the brain of a man

I used to play underneath my momma's skirts all day

I parked my car in her garage
