Every third grader in Texas public schools is forced to learn this song. It is usually accompanied by handclaps right after the first phrase and so on after each following phrase. I'll demonstrate within the lyrics:




The stars at night
Are big and bright
(clap clap clap clap)
Deep in the Heart of Texas

The prairie sky
Is wide and high
(clap clap clap clap)
Deep in the Heart of Texas;

The sage in bloom
Is like perfume.
(clap clap clap clap)
Deep in the Heart of Texas

Reminds me of
The one I love
(clap clap clap clap)
Deep in the Heart of Texas.



As far as I know, this is a traditional. If I'm mistaken /msg me.
