Little Houses Lyrics — The Queen of Versailles

Little Houses

JOHN:
We're settled and happy here

DEBBIE:
We don't need more,
I know you did, you always did
And I don't mean that as a dig

JOHN:
But yeah — we're pretty happy here

DEBBIE:
I guess it's just

JOHN & DEBBIE:
That our dreams don't go that big

JACKIE: (spoken)
Victoria, let's go outside
I want to show you something

VICTORIA: (spoken)
Wow, look at this—

VICTORIA:
Look at all the little roofs,
Just like this one
The same little driveways
With the same little cars

JACKIE:
When I'd be out here then,
I didn't even see them
I was always looking up at the stars
Then I was up and out and gone,
And n?ver looked back twice

VICTORIA:
I don't know, Mom
This is kinda nic?
This seems nice
(spoken)
You always said we were happy
When I was little
And that was just me
And you in one room
I don't get why we need so much more
(sung)
In little houses, you're never alone
It's kind of annoying,
But it is also warm

JACKIE:
In little houses,
Your time's not your own

VICTORIA:
But I bet it's cozy during a thunderstorm
You can smell when dinner's ready
And you'll get there just before
And we'd all eat together

JACKIE:
Yes —
We could be together
You and me, so much more

JACKIE & VICTORIA:
In little houses,
Where memories are grown

VICTORIA:
They stick to the walls,
They're like refrigerator art

JACKIE:
They seem so much more
Than the sum of their parts

JACKIE & VICTORIA:
Little houses
Little houses have big hearts

JONQUIL: (spoken)
Sofia, you made it really nice in here

SOFIA: (spoken)
Well, I'm still saving
For my own house one day
But for now this is okay for me

(sung)
Wallpaper with big flowers,
So it's like my own garden
On my ceiling, pictures of the sky
And pictures of my children,
Pictures of my sister
Far away on the world's other side
So I keep everything
I love here close enough to touch
This is my little house,
And I like it very much

JACKIE & VICTORIA:
In little houses,
Where memories are grown

JONQUIL & SOFIA:
It's like my own garden
On my ceiling,
Pictures of the sky to touch

JACKIE & VICTORIA:
They stick to the walls,
They're like refrigerator art

SOFIA:
This is my little house
Where I never get lost

JACKIE & VICTORIA:
Little houses

JONQUIL & SOFIA:
This is my little house

JACKIE & VICTORIA:
Little houses have big hearts

JONQUIL & SOFIA:
And I like it very much

JONQUIL:
In little houses...

ALL:
Little houses have big hearts
