Lots of folks back East, they say, is leavin home every day
Beatin the hot old dusty way to the California line
Cross the desert sands they roll, gettin out of that old dust bowl
They think theyre goin to a sugar bowl but heres what they find
Now the police at the port of entry say
'Youre number fourteen thousand for today'
Oh, if you aint got the do re mi folks you aint got the do re mi
Why you better go back to beautiful Texas
Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee
California is a garden of Eden, a paradise to live in or see
But believe it or not you wont find it so hot
If you aint got the do re mi
You want to buy you a home or a farm that cant deal nobody harm
Or take your vacation by the mountains or sea
Dont swap your old cow for a car, you better stay right where you are
You better take this little tip from me
Cause I look through the want ads every day
But the headlines on the papers always say
If you aint got the do re mi boys you aint got the do re mi
Why, you better go back to beautiful Texas
Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee
California is a garden of Eden , a paradise to live in or see
But believe it or not you wont find it so hot
If you aint got the do re mi
