Lyrics to get down to...


If I were three inches tall, I would be exceptionally small.
I'd get into the movies at only half the price,
But I would be so terrified of cockroaches and mice.
(If I were three inches tall, I would be hardly there at all!)
As I walked along the street,
No-one would hear my tiny feet.
(If I were three inches tall, I would have nowhere to fall!)
What if I wore a big red hat,
And a stunning brown suit to clash with that?
(If I were three inches tall, what would I think of a six-foot wall?)
Would people stop, and stare and say,
``A walking match is out today!'' ?
