Oklahoma 1943 'Oklahoma'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 30 Jul 2003

Brand new state!
Brand new state,
gonna treat you great!
Gonna give you barley,
carrots and potaters,
pasture for the cattle,
spinach and termayters!
Flowers on the prairie
where the June bugs zoom,
plen'y of air and plen'y of room,
Plen'y of room to swing a rope!
Plen'y of heart and plen'y 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 Yeow!
Ayipioee ay!
We're only sayin'
you're doin' fine, Oklahoma!
Oklahoma O.K.
