Tall Poppy

How can I be a tall poppy, when I only stand five foot three?
How can I be a tall poppy, when I only stand five foot three?
There are folks who say I shouldn’t be on stage
They say I should be home and acting my age
But how can I be a tall poppy when I only stand five foot three?

How can I be a tall poppy, when I only stand five foot three?
How can I be a tall poppy, when I only stand five foot three?
They don’t like my clothes or the cut of my hair
They say that my band aint going nowhere
But how can I be a tall poppy when I only stand five foot three?

How can I be a tall poppy, when I only stand five foot three?
How can I be a tall poppy, when I only stand five foot three?
The guys in the band are all very nice
They say I shouldn’t listen and don’t think twice
But how can I be a tall poppy, when I only stand five foot three?

How can I be a tall poppy, when I only stand five foot three?
How can I be a tall poppy, when I only stand five foot three?
They say the best revenge is called success
To tell the truth I really couldn’t care less
But how can I be a tall poppy when I only stand five foot three?

(I’m only a short-ass!) I only stand five foot three!
