Do Re Me |
| Lots of folks back East, they say, is leavin' home every day, |
| Beatin' the hot old dusty way to the California line. |
| 'Cross the desert sands they roll, gettin' out of that old dust bowl, |
| They think they’re goin' to a sugar bowl, but here’s what they find -- |
| Now, the police at the port of entry say, |
| «You're number fourteen thousand for today.» |
| CHORUS: |
| Oh, if you ain’t got the do re mi, folks, you ain’t got the do re mi, |
| Why, you better go back to beautiful Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, |
| Tennessee. |
| California is a garden of Eden, a paradise to live in or see; |
| But believe it or not, you won’t find it so hot |
| If you ain’t got the do re mi. |
| You want to buy you a home or a farm, that can’t deal nobody harm, |
| Or take your vacation by the mountains or sea. |
| Don’t swap your old cow for a car, you better stay right where you are, |
| Better take this little tip from me. |
| 'Cause I look through the want ads every day |
| But the headlines on the papers always say: |
| If you ain’t got the do re mi, boys, you ain’t got the do re mi, |
| Why, you better go back to beautiful Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, |
| Tennessee. |
| California is a garden of Eden, a paradise to live in or see; |
| But believe it or not, you won’t find it so hot |
| If you ain’t got the do re mi. |
