Were not fashioned for brides and grooms
 A little place is where we should be
 Great big troubles and great big cares
 Come from houses with marble stairs
 A little place for you and for me

 Just a little room or two can more than do a little man and wife
 That's if they're contented with the little things in life

 Living on a larger scale would soon entail a lot of care and strife
 We could be so happy with the little things in life

 A little rain, a little sun, a little work, a little fun
 A little time for loving when the day is done

 And a little thing that cries for lullabies could make a man and wife
 Tell the world how much they love the little things in life
