Ohio
Why oh why oh why oh
Why did I ever leave Ohio?
Why did I wander
To find what lies yonder
When life was so cozy at home?
Wandering while I wander
Why did I fly
Why did i roam?
Oh why oh why oh did i leave ohio?
Maybe id better go
O-H-I-O (home)
Maybe id better go
Home
Now listen Eileen,
Ohio was stifling
We just couldnt wait to get outta the place!
With ma saying "Ruth, what, no dates for this evening?"
And pops with "Eileen, do be home dear by ten."
(Both) EUUGH
Those gossipy neighbors,
And everyone yacking "Whos going with who?"
And dating those drips that I've know since I'm four!
The Kiwanis club dance
On the basket ball floor!
Cousin Maude with with her lectures on sin
(Both) What a bore!!
Jerry Black!
Cousin Min!
Ezra Nye!!
Hannah Finn!!
Just Hopeless!
Babbity!
Stuffy!
Provincial!
THANK HEAVEN WE'RE FREE!
Why oh why oh why oh?
Why did we ever leave Ohio?!
Wondering while we wander
Why did we fly
Why did we roam?
Oh why oh why oh did we leave Ohio?
Maybe we'd better go
O-H-I-O (Home)
Maybe we'd better go...
Home
Why did I ever leave Ohio?
Why did I wander
To find what lies yonder
When life was so cozy at home?
Wandering while I wander
Why did I fly
Why did i roam?
Oh why oh why oh did i leave ohio?
Maybe id better go
O-H-I-O (home)
Maybe id better go
Home
Now listen Eileen,
