Do Re Mi |
| Well, thousands of folks back east they say |
| Are leavin’home most everyday |
| They’re beatin’the hot ole dusty way |
| To the California line |
| Across the desert sands they roll |
| A-gettin'outta that ole dust bowl |
| They think they’re goin’to a sugar bowl |
| But, here is what they find |
| The police at the port of entry say |
| You’re number 14,000 for the day |
| If you ain’t got that Do Re Mi boys |
| If you ain’t got that Do Re Mi |
| Oh, you better go back to beautiful Texas |
| Oklahoma, Georgia, Kansas, Tennessee |
| California is a garden of Eden |
| It’s a paradise to live in or see |
| Believe it or not you won’t find it so hot |
| If you ain’t got that Do Re Mi |
| Well, if you wanna buy you a home or farm |
| That can’t deal nobody harm |
| Or take your vacations by the mountains or the sea |
| Don’t swap your old cow for a car |
| You’d better stay right where you are |
| You better take this little tip from me Cuz’I look through the want ads every day |
| And the headlines in the papers always say |
