Tall Short Texans Lyrics - Sesame Street

Tall Texan: Well I'm a tall, tall Texan 

I'm talking tall, tall, tall 

(He comes from Texas and he's really tall) 

I change a light bulb easy 

I play great basketball 

(He's great at light bulbs and at basketball) 

Even the longest long-johns 

Are always way too small 

(The longest long-johns always way too small) 

Short Texan: Well, I'm a short, short Texan 

I'm talking real petite 

(He comes from Texas and he's real petite) 

I've tripped my share of bad guys 

So better watch your feet 

(He trips up bad guys, better watch your feet) 

Even one tiny little meatball 

Is way too big to eat 

(One tiny meatball's way too big to eat) 

Tall Texan: Yeah, when I drop my toothpick 

There's just one guy to call 

Short Texan: Ya call a short, short Texan 

'Cause it's too low for y'all 

And when I need some boosting 

To hop onto my horse 

Tall Texan: You call a tall, tall Texan 

Like your buddy, of course 

Well, I'm a tall, tall Texan 

Hitting the dusty trail 

(He's a tall Texan 'bout to hit the trail) 

Short Texan: Beside a short, short Texan 

We stick together without fail 

(They're gonna stick together without fail) 

Both: We'd like to thank you folks for listenin' 

To this here short tall tale 

Short Texan: Yeee-haw
