Not Too Little is a song from "Baby Takes the Cake". In the song, Apple Dumplin' talks about how people see her as a small kid, but she's not too little to do anything she wants. It plays when she is about to fall asleep and dream that she is a big girl. The song is about self-confidence and proving oneself to others. Apple Dumplin' lists all the things she can do that someone might not expect from a little toddler. This is an odd moment for Apple Dumplin', having her trade her standard "hulk speak" speech for proper grammar which would carry on with her throughout the dream.
Lyrics[]
I'm not too little
I'm not, I'm not
They think I'm little,
Just a tiny tot
But I'll show them that I'm not too small
And I can do any, any, anything at all
'Cause I'm not little
Not too little
Oh, no, I'm not
Watch how I can tie my shoes
Wait, I'll try again...
I know how to count to ten
One, five, nine, six, ten?
I do lots of big-girl things
Like run and jump and play
It's plain to see
I'm practically
Grown up in every way
I'm not too little
I'm not, I'm not
I wish they'd trust me
To stir the pot
'Cause I'd show them that I'm not too small
And I can do any, any, anything at all
'Cause I'm not little
Not too little
Oh, no, I'm not
I know fifty rainbow colors
Red, blue, green, and red
I can take my big red ball
And bounce it off my head! Ow...
I pick flowers like the grown-ups do
And roll downhill all day
And did I mention how I love
To run and jump and play
Oh, I'm not too little
I'm not, I'm not
They treat me little
But I'm not a lot
If show them that I'm not too small
They'll let me do any, any, anything at all
'Cause I'm not little
Not too little
Oh, no, I'm not
I can pick out my own clothes myself
I can wiggle my own toes myself
I can climb up on the couch myself
Make the pillows like a kangaroo's pouch myself
Then I can crawl inside myself
And close my eyes and hide myself
And dream of things to be tried myself
I'm not too little,
Not too little,
(sigh) Oh, no, I'm not...
