Is there a way to get the SQL text for the last few queries?

I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2005

Yes, take a look, this will give you the 50 most recent executed SQL statements

sql 2005 and up only

SELECT TOP 50 * FROM(SELECT COALESCE(OBJECT_NAME(s2.objectid),'Ad-Hoc') AS ProcName,
  execution_count,s2.objectid,
    (SELECT TOP 1 SUBSTRING(s2.TEXT,statement_start_offset / 2+1 ,
      ( (CASE WHEN statement_end_offset = -1
  THEN (LEN(CONVERT(NVARCHAR(MAX),s2.TEXT)) * 2)
ELSE statement_end_offset END)- statement_start_offset) / 2+1)) AS sql_statement,
       last_execution_time
FROM sys.dm_exec_query_stats AS s1
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(sql_handle) AS s2 ) x
WHERE sql_statement NOT like 'SELECT TOP 50 * FROM(SELECT %'
--and OBJECTPROPERTYEX(x.objectid,'IsProcedure') = 1
ORDER BY last_execution_time DESC
