Big Things Too, also known as "Little Guys", is the main theme of the VeggieTales episode Dave and the Giant Pickle. It was later redone for the DVD Little Ones Can Do Big Things Too!
Lyrics[]
Opening[]
Dave (Junior Asparagus): They're big, I'm little They go, I twiddle Why can't little guys do big things too?
Song[]
King Saul (Archibald Asparagus): You're not going to sing, are you?
(Dave shakes "yes")
King Saul: Couldn't you just play your harp And I'll throw things at you?
(Dave shakes "no")
King Saul: Oh.
Dave: You're big, I'm little My head only comes to your middle But I say little guys can do big things too.
King Saul: Yes, but Goliath, he's...
Dave: He's big, but God's bigger And when I think of Him, that's when I figure With His help, little guys can do big things too.
King Saul: Oh, I see what you're saying... Alright, I understand, now let's suppose that this is true
You still look rather wimpy, but I know what we can do
Just step behind the curtain, it will only take a minute
There's a closet in the corner and you'll like what I've got in it.
You'll find my royal armor there, don't dally, put it on.
Yes, now you'll look much bigger when the battle lines are drawn.
One more thing you need, I think, pick up my royal sword.
It's a big one, and a beauty, the best I could afford.
Once you've got it all together, I think you will agree.
You're bound to do much better if you try to look like me.
Oh dear.
Dave: You know, I think maybe I should just be plain old me.
King Saul: Oh, yes, well, I suppose. But have you seen Goliath? He's, he's just, he's...
Dave: He's big, but God's bigger.
And when I think of Him, that's when I figure...
King Saul: With His help, little guys can do big things?
Dave: With His help, I know I can do big things!
Both: With His help, little guys can do big things too-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo.
King Saul: Alright, if you're sure you know what you are getting into...Oh dear...

Trivia[]
- This is the only non-Silly Songs with Larry song from Dave and the Giant Pickle.
- Parts of the song were animated by Ron Smith.
- The line, "Couldn't you just play your harp and I'll throw things at you?" is a reference to King Saul trying to kill David by throwing a spear at him.
- Dave sits on King Saul's throne during the line "With His help, I know I can do big things!", which is a foreshadowing to how David will become king after King Saul's death.
- The instrumental version of the third part of the song is heard on Dave and the Giant Pickle's superimposed closing credits.
- An instrumental re-orchestration was made for Little Things Matter.
