i'm five feet tall and full of angst
i'm never going to grow
tall enough to reach prime leaves

so i bought a guitar
slung it low and wrote some songs
about my tortured soul and trees

and about girls and lions
yeah about girls and lions
and my tortured soul and trees

where i'll never reach the top
no i'll never reach the top
so i started up a band

and i'm an emo dwarf giraffe
but the chicks dig me anyway
because i sing all about my feelings
and chicks dig giraffes

anyway

well i wasn't going to sell out
no i wasn't going to sell out
but i'm a simple animal

they said my sound was hot now
and the shortness didn't matter
easier to get me on the tour bus

now i've got leaves in baskets
and my life is pretty good so
my angst is going to falter

i'm too content to write
too content to write
too content to write

and i was an emo dwarf giraffe
but the chicks dug me anyway
cause i sang all about my feelings
and chicks dig giraffes

anyway
