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
