how it feels to be tall
I used to be small
Back as a kid and all
I couldn't reach the shelf
Never by myself
Not any more, i am tall
Now i'm big and i flaunt my power,
smile as i see those shorties cower
If you need my help then beg
And i’ll consider using my long leg
Just remember who’s in charge this hour
Nap time is over and soon they’ll head home
No feeling better than seeing theses gnomes
