[Chorus]
  GI like it, FI like it, DI like it small
  I like it, I like it, I like it small
[Verse 1]
GI'm not on so grandoise trip
I'm fine with little sips
I'm good with Gladys sans the Pips
Now let me go down the list
[Bridge 1]
GMinimal production, F#low yield
FIntimate settings, Elimited appeal
GDingy basements, F#short runs
FNo expectations, Ewait I'm not done!
[Chorus]
  GI like it, FI like it, DI like it small
  I like it, I like it, I like it small
[Verse 2]
GI don't need no magnum
A snub nose would do just fine
And I'll take GG Allin
Over Long Dong Silver any time
[Bridge 2]
GAnd when I F#orgy, FI cap it at Etwelve
GAny more than F#that and I get FoverEwhelmed
E G5 (10th fret) 
E
[Verse 3]
GDon't you sweat the little things
I like to try to sweep them in
I keep 'em tucked, in my fist
What they might be, you can only guess
[Bridge 3]
GAnd when I F#show my hand
FYou will finally Eunderstand
GThat I've got F#big enough balls
FTo admit I Elike it small
[Chorus]
  GI like it, FI like it, DI like it small
  I like it, I like it, I like it small
  I like it, I like it, I like it small
  I like it, I like it, I like it small

The story behind the song

"I Like It Small" finds Mudhoney, a band known for helping shape the grunge sound, embracing a preference for intimacy and limited appeal. The lyrics speak to a desire for settings that are not sprawling or overwhelming, even capping an orgy at twelve people to keep things contained. It’s a playful declaration of finding joy in the understated and the niche, a sentiment that perhaps reflects the band's own journey as influential yet often underground artists.
