Do-Re-Mi |
| Lots of folks back East they say, leaving home every day |

| Cross the desert sands they roll, getting out of the old dust bowl |
| Think they’re going to a sugar bowl, but here’s what they find |
| Now police at the port of entry say, |
| «you're number fourteen thousand for today |
| Oh, if you ain’t got the do re mi, folks, you ain’t got the do re mi |
| Why you better get back to beautiful Texas, 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 a house or a farm, that can’t do nobody harm |
| Or take your vacation by the mountain or sea |
| Don’t swap your old cow for a car, you’d better stay right where you are |
| Better take this little tip from me: |
| Cause I look through the want ads every day |
| And the headlines in the papers always say |
