Little Things
Rodney Carrington Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I'm sittin' on a toilet in a house that I don't know
Lookin' all around me where'd the toilet paper go
Feelin' real uneasy, feelin' real uncertain
Cause I gotta wipe my butt again with a shower curtain

It's those little things those itty bitty things
It's those little things like that that piss me off
When I pick on a woman and I take her home to bed
She takes her clothes off and she starts to
I ask her name was she told me in was Venus
Well I reach down between her legs





It's those little things those itty bitty things
That woman had a big thing it ain't no little thing it pissed me off

Overall Meaning

In this humorous song, Rodney Carrington talks about the little things that annoy him in life. He starts with a funny scenario where he's sitting on a toilet in an unfamiliar house and cannot find any toilet paper. He expresses his discomfort and uncertainty with having to use a shower curtain to wipe himself. This situation highlights how something as small as not having toilet paper can be a frustrating obstacle.


Next, he talks about a sexual encounter where he's disappointed by the size of the woman's genitals. He remarks on how she had told him her name was Venus, and so he had expected something grander. This experience again emphasizes how a small thing can create a big disappointment. It's interesting to note how Carrington is able to make light of these situations and find humor in them. Even though they could be embarrassing or awkward, he's able to turn them into something humorous.
