Lyrics[]
Abel:
Deep in the heart of you know what
Is the biggest rose that grows
Size isn't what my girl has got
Melissa:
But a rose is a rose is a rose.
Abel:
Say that's cute!
Abel:
It's the little things in Texas I love
There's a girl with a very small waist
Who gives me a very small squeeze
But oh, her heart is big as Texas
Melissa:
Not here.
Abel:
Why not?
Melissa:
It's the little things in Texas I love
When we go for a very small walk
Our talk is a very small talk
Abel:
And somehow we don't talk of Texas.
Abel:
This girl is full of graces
She's cute in all the right places
Melissa:
And who needs great big spaces
Abel:
Whee...
I drew four aces.
Abel:
One little thing in Texas adores me
And it's the little things in Texas I love.
Melissa:
It's the little things in Texas I love
When the night starts a-comin' along
A bird sings a very sad song
And nothin' sweeter north of Texas.
It's the little things in Texas I love
There's a man with a very small reach
Who's hug I consider a peach
Abel:
In fact, the best from Maine to Texas.
Chorus:
He says he's not a fossil
That doesn't push or jostle
He's darling but not docile
Whee
The kid's colossal.
All:
One little thing in Texas adores me
And it's the little things in Texas...
