Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They laugh at me, these fellas, just because I am small
They laugh at me because I'm not a hundred feet tall
I tell them there's a lot to learn, down here on the ground
The world is big, but little people will turn it around
[Verse 2]
A worm can roll a stone
A bee can sting a bear
A fly can fly around Versailles, 'cause flies don't care
A sparrow in the hut can make a happy home
A flea can bite the bottom of the Pope in Rome
[Verse 3]
Goliath was a bruiser who was 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
[Verse 4]
A worm can roll a stone
A bee can sting a bear
A fly can fly around Versailles, 'cause flies don't care
A sparrow in the hut can make a happy home
A flea can bite the bottom of the Pope in Rome
[Verse 5]
So listen here, Professor, with your head in the cloud
It's often kind of 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
[Verse 6]
Be careful as you go
'Cause 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 better run for cover when the pup grows up
And we'll fight like twenty armies and we won't give up
[Verse 7]
A worm can roll a stone
A bee can sting a bear
A fly can fly around Versailles, 'cause flies don't care
A sparrow in the hut can make a happy home
A flea can bite the bottom of the Pope in Rome
A flea can bite the bottom of the Pope in Rome
