Just as Long as Me

Lyrics

It's a sad and awful story and the shorter folks won't care
 I'm a man who's simply way to big to love
 Picture her a tiny thing with tiny ribbons in her hair
 Picture me a monster towering above
 I don't care what color hair is growing on her head
 She doesn't have to be a sight to see
 It don't matter if she's fat or if she's good in bed
 Just as long as she is just as long as me
 Took an ad out in the paper with my picture and some prose
 It said tall and lonely lover seeking same
 Combed my hair and got a shave and bought a long stemmed thornless rose
 When the picture ran my head was out of frame
 I don't care what color hair is growing on her head
 She doesn't have to be a sight to see
 It don't matter if she's fat or if she's good in bed
 Just as long as she is just as long as me
 Every night I have a dream I'm on a mountain in the sky
 And the air gets ever thinner as I climb
 Then I see the gates of heaven, someone there has caught my eye
 She is very tall and finally she is mine
 I don't care what color hair is growing on her head
 She doesn't have to be a sight to see
 It don't matter if she's fat or if she's good in bed
 Just as long as she is just as long as me
