Do-Re-Mi

Lyrics

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
