Do-Re-Mi
Well, lot of folks back east, they say
Leavin' home most every day
Hitting the hard old dusty trail to the California line
Well, across the desert sands they roll
Gettin' out of the old dust bowl
Think they're going to a sugar bowl
Here's what they find
For the police at the port of entry say
"You're number fourteen thousand for today."
Well, if you ain't got the do-re-mi, boys
You ain't got the do-re-mi
Well, you better go back to beautiful Texas
Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee
California's a garden of Eden
And a paradise to live in and see
But believe it or not, you won't find it so hot
If you ain't got the do-re-mi
Now, if you want to buy a home or farm
That can't do nobody harm
You take your vacation by the mountains or the sea
But you better not swap your cow for car
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 on the papers always say
Well, if you ain't got the do-re-mi, boys
You ain't got the do-re-mi
Well, you better go back to beautiful Texas
Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee
California's a garden of Eden
Yes, paradise for you and for me
But believe it or not, you won't find it so hot
If you ain't got the do-re-mi
Leavin' home most every day
Hitting the hard old dusty trail to the California line
Well, across the desert sands they roll
Gettin' out of the old dust bowl
Think they're going to a sugar bowl
Here's what they find
For the police at the port of entry say
"You're number fourteen thousand for today."
Well, if you ain't got the do-re-mi, boys
You ain't got the do-re-mi
Well, you better go back to beautiful Texas
Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee
California's a garden of Eden
And a paradise to live in and see
But believe it or not, you won't find it so hot
If you ain't got the do-re-mi
Now, if you want to buy a home or farm
That can't do nobody harm
You take your vacation by the mountains or the sea
But you better not swap your cow for car
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 on the papers always say
Well, if you ain't got the do-re-mi, boys
You ain't got the do-re-mi
Well, you better go back to beautiful Texas
Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee
California's a garden of Eden
Yes, paradise for you and for me
But believe it or not, you won't find it so hot
If you ain't got the do-re-mi
