Oklahoma (Live On The Ed Sullivan Show, November 4, 1962)

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 okay

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-L-A-H-O-M-A
