MY DAD IS TEXAS
by
Eric Curtis Johnson
LIGHTS UP on ERIC, sitting center with a small Casio keyboard. He is surrounded by a chorus of MEN.
Eric sings.
eric
My Dad is Texas
And I want to be Texas too
My Dad is Texas
And I want to be Texas too
It takes a certain sort of people
to live in Texas
They’re a people rough and rugged
and strong
I hope that one day I’ll be fit
to live in Texas
But until then I’ll just sing
my song
My Dad is Texas
And I want to be Texas too
My Dad is Texas
And I want to be Texas too
MEN
Mi Papa es Tejas
y Yo quiero ser Tejas tambien
Mi Papa es Tejas
Y Yo quiero ser Tejas tambien
eric
My Dad has never lived in Texas but he wears a cowboy hat
And he drinks a lot of beer
There’s not a lot of hugs in Texas, you can’t argue with that
But there’s no chainsaw massacres here
And that is why
I want to be Texas too
Cuz when you’re a chainsaw killer
Nobody messes with you
Song ends. Eric smiles.
LIGHTS OUT.
