• Ma Tex : [to North]  We'd like you show you how much we're looking forward to having you as our new son. Ready, Pa?

  Pa Tex : Ready, Ma!

  Ma Tex : [singing]  We had a son who was trampled by a ton of longhorns, but you're very cute to fill his boots as flat as they may be

  Pa Tex : [singing]  You'll yippee-yi-yo with the rodeo 'til the day's done

  Ma Tex : [singing]  Then you'll make a lot of pals with buffalo gals

  Pa Tex : [whispering]  Just save some for me!

  Ma Tex : Hey, there!

  Ma Tex , Pa Tex : [singing with a chorus]  We'll barbecue steaks and stew, feed you pumpkin pie 'til your can's bigger than the big ol' Texas sky

  Ma Tex : [singing]  You'll grow tall and play football be famous

  Pa Tex : [singing]  You'll grow more, own a chain of stores, and marry Betty Lou

• Pa Tex : Remember before when I told you that everything I own is the biggest and the best? Well you're already the best. Now there's nothing left but to make you the biggest.

  Ma Tex : And don't fret about not being able to clean up your plate. Why, soon your stomach will stretch and stretch and your capacity for food will grow and grow.

  North : You say that like that's a good thing to have happen to your stomach.

  Pa Tex : It is.

  North : Why?

  Ma Tex : Then you'll be like Buck.

  North : Who?

  Pa Tex : Our first son. The biggest boy this big state's ever seen. Why he could eat more in one day than anyone else could eat in a whole month.

  Ma Tex : That's why Buck hated February.
