Well, there's a friend of mine who lives uptown,
Ain't nothing much can bring him down,
Standing tall, and Shorty is his name.

Shorty likes to play guitar,
Shorty likes to drive his car,
Shorty knows you can't take it when you go.

Whoa, Shorty's smiling 'cause he knows just what to do,
Whoa, Shorty's styling; he says, "You better get that thing in tune."

Yeah, Shorty knows about true love,
Shorty's saved by Jesus' blood,
Shorty ain't afraid to let you know.

Shorty says he likes this song,
He says, "Play that one that's not too long"
Shorty knows that time is short.

He stands so tall down on his knees,
Jesus mercy set him free.

Yeah, done set him free,
Yeah.

Oh, Shorty's smiling 'cause he knows just what to do,
Oh, Shorty's styling; he says, "You better get that thing in tune."
