You coined it :-)

Actually, I'm feeling Iowa City, going to leave this town soon. Iowa City in my sights.
Out of my curiosity, what's in Iowa City that's pulling you there? Haven't heard much about it.

Once a friend from Woodrow/SMU and I were in San Francisco eating at a very trendy restaurant. Apparently a girl at the next table heard our accent - we heard her say, "The must be from Dallas or Iowa or somewhere."

I don't just like Dallas, I love it:

BIG D

Ev'nin', ma'am.

Would you mind sayin' that again?

I said, 'Ev'nin', ma'am.

Ev'nin', ma'am'!
Mister, you've got a way of sayin'
Ev'nin', ma'am
That puts me in a friendly state of mind.

Would you mind sayin' that again
I mean 'friendly state'.

Friendly state.

Sister you've got a way of saying
'Friendly state
'That gives me the impression
You're my kind.

Would you mind sayin' 'crazy crystal'.

'Crazy crystal!'
would you mind saying 'neiman marcus'.

'Neiman marcus'.

Wait a minute!
Wait a minute!

You're from Big D
I can guess
By the way you draw!
And the way you dress
You're from Big D

My, oh Yes
I mean Big D little a, double l-a-s
And that spell Dallas
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
Big D, little a double l-a-s
And that spell Dallas
Where ev'ry home's a palace

Cause the settlers settle for no less
Hooray for Big D

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

You're from Big D
I can guess
By the way you draw!
And the way you dress
You're from Big D

My, oh Yes
I mean Big D little a, double l-a-s
And there's oil all over your address
Back home in Big D

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

But the rest of Texas looks a mess
When you're from Big D

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

Big D, Big D
Talkin' 'bout big D, big D

Oil! Oil! Oil! Cattle! Cattle! Cattle!
My, oh Dallas, Dallas, Dallas, Dallas!
Big D! Little A double L-A-S!

And that spells Dallas
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-A
Big D, little A, double L-A-S!
