“Ode to Small People”
by Carl-Henric Svanberg and Tony Hayward


‘’Small people’’ got no reason,
‘’Small people’’ got no reason,
‘’Small people’’ got no reason,
To want big answers from Carl-Henree
Or even small answers from big Bee-Pee.

They got small hands,
Small eyes,
They walk around
Tellin’ small kinds of lies.
They got small noses,
And small small teeth.
They wear oil-stained shoes
On their oil-soaked feet

Well, I don’t want no ‘’Small people,’‘

Don’t want no ‘’Small people,’‘
Don’t want no ‘’Small people,’‘
`Round here on my drillin’ rig

‘’Small people’’ got nobody.
‘’Small people’’ got nobody.
‘’Small people’’ got nobody
to hear their pleas at BP - (please!)

They got little small legs,
That stand so low,
On the oil-soaked beach,
Oh what they don’t know!
They got small minds
That go ‘’BP BP BP.’‘
They got small voices
Goin’ ‘BP BP BP.’‘
They got small oily fingers,
And small oily minds,
They’re gonna get you every time.

Well, I don’t want no small people,
Don’t want no ‘’Small people,’‘
Don’t want no ‘’Small people,’‘
‘Round here on my drillin’ rig…”
