Lyrics

They couldn't pick a better time to start in life
It ain't too early and it ain't too late
Startin' as a farmer with a brand new wife
Soon be livin' in a brand new state
Brand new state!
Gonna treat you great!
Gonna give you barley, carrots and pertaters
Pasture fer the cattle
Spinach and termayters
Flowers on the prarie where the June bugs zoom
Plenty of air and plenty of room
Plenty o' room to swing a rope!
Plenty of heart and plenty of hope
Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain
And the wavin' wheat, can sure smell sweet
When the wind comes right behind the rain
Oklahoma, ev'ry night my honey lamb and I
Sit alone and talk, and watch a hawk
Makin' lazy circles in the sky
We know we belong to the land
And the land we belong to is grand
And when we say
Yeeow A-yip-i-o-e-ay
We're only sayin'
You're doin' fine, Oklahoma
Oklahoma, O.K
Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain
Oklahama, where the wavin' wheat, can sure smell sweet
When the wind comes right behind the rain
Oklahoma, ev'ry night my honey lamb and I
Every night we sit alone and talk
And watch a hawk
Makin' lazy circles in the sky (Sky)
We know we belong to the land (Yoho)
And the land we belong to is grand
Yip-i-yi, Yip-i-yi, Yip-i-yi, Yip-i-yi, Yip-i-yi, Yip-i-yi
And when we say
Yeeow A-yip-i-o-e-ay
We're only sayin'
You're doin' fine, Oklahoma
Oklahoma, you're O.K
Okla-homa-Okla-homa-Okla-homa
Okla-homa-Okla-homa-Okla-homa
We know we belong to the land
And the land we belong to is grand
And when we say
Yeeow A-yip-i-o-e-ay
We're only sayin'
You're doin' fine, Oklahoma
Oklahoma, O-K-
