Big D
[HERMAN, spoken]
Evenin', ma'am. 

[CLEO]
Would you mind sayin' that again?

[HERMAN]
I said, "Evenin', ma'am"

[CLEO]
"Evenin', ma'am"
Mister, you got a way of sayin' "Evenin', ma'am"
That puts me in a friendly state of mind

[HERMAN]
Would you mind sayin' that again?
I mean "friendly state"

[CLEO]
"Friendly state"

[HERMAN]
Sister, you got a way of sayin' "Friendly state"
That gives me the impression you're my kind

[CLEO]
Would you mind sayin' "Crazy crystals?"
[HERMAN]
"Crazy crystals"
Would you mind sayin' "Neiman Marcus?"

[CLEO]
"Neiman Marcus"

[HERMAN, spoken]
Wait a minute!
Wait a minute!
(sung)
You're from big D

[CLEO, spoken]
Ah, ha ha!

[HERMAN]
I can guess
By the way you drawl
And the way you dress
You're from big D

[CLEO & HERMAN]
My, oh yes
I mean big D, little A, double L-A-S
And that spells Dallas
My darlin', darlin' Dallas
[HERMAN]
Don't it give you pleasure to confess
That you're from big D?

[CLEO & HERMAN]
My, oh yes
I mеan big D, little A, double L-A—
Big D, little A, doublе L-A—
Big D, little A, double L-A-S
And that spells Dallas
Where every home's a palace

[HERMAN]
'Cause the settlers settle for no less
Hooray for big D

[CLEO & HERMAN]
My, oh yes
I mean big D, little A, double L-A—
Big D, little A, double L-A—
Big D, little A, double L-A-S

[CLEO]
You're from big D
I can guess
By the way you drawl
And the way you dress
You're from big D
[CLEO & HERMAN]
My, oh yes
I mean big D, little A, double L-A-S
And that spells Dallas

[CLEO]
Just dig a toe in Dallas
And there's oil all over your address
Back home in big D

[CLEO & HERMAN]
My, oh yes
I mean big D, little A, double L-A—
Big D, little A, double L-A—
Big D, little A, double L-A-S
And that spells Dallas
I mean it with no malice

[CLEO]
But the rest of Texas looks a mess
When you're from big D

[CLEO & HERMAN]
My, oh yes
I mean big D, little A, double L-A—
Big D, little A, double L-A—
Big D, little A, double L-A-S

Talkin' 'bout big D, big D

[MAN, spoken]

Oil, oil, oil
Cattle, cattle, cattle

My, oh Dallas, Dallas, Dallas, Dallas
Big D, little A, double L-A-S

My darlin', darlin' Dallas
Don't it give you pleasure to confess
That you're from big D?
My, oh yes
I mean big D, little A, double L-A—
Big D, little A, double L-A—
