Better Than Being Big is a song performed by Hamster and Kevin in the episode "The Silence of the Tchotchkes".
Lyrics[]
Hamster: Tall and gangly people look so funny
Ducking under doorways like they're so tough
But when you're big you have to spend more money
On clothing and housing and food and stuff
It's not that every large person's ridiculous
But when you're big it's hard to be inconspicuous
Kevin (spoken): I'm five inches tall!
Hamster: It's good to be small
Don't you sweat it at all
It's much better than being big
There's no need to bawl
If you're the size of a doll
It's much better than being big
You'll be a hit at every limbo party
Kevin: I guess there's advantages to having a lack of height
Hamster: No one notices if you're tardy
Kevin: I'll have more leg room on commercial flights
Hamster: No one asks you to get stuff off the higher shelves
When you're tiny you can really enjoy yourself
Kevin (spoken): Five inches still feels too small.
Hamster and Kevin: But it's good to be small
No disadvantage at all
It's much better than being big
It's a fun size to be
Just take it from me
It's much better than being big
Hamster: When you're the size of a mint
Kevin (spoken): You've got a much smaller carbon footprint.
Hamster (spoken): Exactly.
Hamster and Kevin: It's much better than being big
