Composer(s): Jimmy McHugh - Frank Loesser

McGuire:
Headin' for that depot
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Headin' for that depot
And here's the reason why

Ensemble: Why, gal why?

McGuire:
Got a touch of Texas in my talk
I got too much of Texas in my talk
Oh, this place will be my ruin
Ki-yi-yip-pin' and wahooin'
Oh, take me back to Noo Yawk!
Got a touch of Texas in my hair
Got too much of Texas in my hair
Yes, the sand from Amarillo
Keeps a scratchin' on my pillow
Oh, take me back to Times Square!
For I've seen ev'ry part of
Ev'ry part of
What I'm deep in the heart of

Got a touch of Texas in my walk
Got too much of Texas in my walk
Oh, the sage may be a-bloomin'
But for miles there's nothin' human
Take me back to Noo Yawk!

Headin' for that depot
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Headin' for that depot
And here's the reason why

Hayes:
Now wait a minute si
You've got a touch of Texas in your walk

Peary:
Got too much of Texas in your walk

McGuire:
I rode a bronco down in Dallas
So be careful of my callus
Take me back to Noo Yawk!

Peary:
Hold on, chum, you got Texas on your brain, yeah

Hayes:
Yeah, too much Texas on your brain

McGuire:
Oh, the brush that's full of rabbits
Got me in these jumpin' habits
Put me back on that train!
For I've seen ev'ry part of

[Clap-clap-clap-clap]

Just what I'm deep in the heart of
That's why I'm headin' for the depot
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Mature:
You'll never make the depot
And here's the reason why
You got too much of Texas in you, gal

McGuire:
And that's too much of Texas for me, pal

Hayes:
I reckon I will have to stop you
If'n you move, I'll have to drop you

Peary:
Get back in your corral

Mature:
You got too much Texas in your talk

McGuire:
I got too much of Texas in my walk
But the funny part about it
Is that I can do without it
Don't take me back, don't take me back
Oh, please don't
Take me back to New York!

Got a touch of Texas in my face
Got too much of Texas in my face
Oh, that sunshine in Laredo
Got it like a ripe tomato
Oh, take me out of this place!
