Subject: Robert Wadlow

lyrics

I look up to really tall people
They look down on me

Addie and Harold had a normal looking boy
In unpresuming Alton, Illinois
Thus was born the world’s tallest man
He had an overactive pituitary gland
Overactive pituitary gland

By the age of 8 he was over 6 feet
It wasn’t too long before he had the record beat
Robert Wadlow the world’s tallest man
He had an overactive pituitary gland
Overactive pituitary gland
Overactive pituitary gland

(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh…)

I look up to really tall people
They look down on me

Almost 9 feet at the age of 22
A shoe embassador of goodwill too
Finally died in the state of Michigan
He had an overactive pituitary gland
Overactive pituitary gland

(Oh oh oh)

I wanna know how tall you would have grown
If you hadn’t got that blister on your toe
An infection you’d been able to withstand
He had an overactive pituitary gland
Overactive pituitary gland
Overactive pituitary gland

(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh…)

I look up to really tall people
They look down on me

The theme for our latest album is Spielberg. Enjoy! ... more
