There once was a little girl  Who didn't know much about the real world  She came from a town way up North  She didn't dig those pale guys no more  She'd been watching the big screen  Seen those Southern boys so tan and lean  Didn't go for those boys on the beach  She wants a real tan and something to teach  (chorus)  She likes tans  She likes tans  She likes tans  Yeah she does  So she got on that big highway  And headed down to the Lone Star state  Her friends thought she was out of her mind  But she knew that in Texas she would find...  Those California boys, they have a few quirks  And those Florida boys are a bunch of jerks  It may sound crazy but it's not a crime  Those Texas boys are prime  (chorus)  And she's going to stay  (Gonna stay)  Goodbye to pale boys of yesterday  (Yesterday)  She's got what she needs  (What she needs)  Now that she's free  (Now that she's free)  She's found herself a Texas man  Who is wearing a deep dark tan  (chorus)
