Just a little room or two can more than do a little man and wife

That's if they're contented with the little things in life

Living on a larger scale would soon entail a lot of care and strife

We could be so happy with the little things in life, dear

A little rain, a little sun, a little work, a little fun

A little time for loving when the day is done

And a little thing that cries for lullabies could make a man and wife

Tell the world how much they love the little things in life

Great big houses with great big rooms

Were not fashioned for brides and grooms

A little place is where we should be


Great big troubles and great big cares
Come from houses with marble stairs

A little place for you and for me

A little rain, a little sun, a little work, a little fun

A little time for loving when the day is done

And a little thing that cries for lullabies could make a man and wife

Tell the world how much they love the little things in life
