Oklahoma
Written by Oscar
Hammerstein II
Music by Richard Rodgers
Brand new
state! Brand new state, gonna treat
you great!
Gonna give you barley, carrots and
pertaters,
Pasture fer the cattle, Spinach and
Temayters!
Flowers on the prarie 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--Yeeow! A-yip-i-o-ee
ay!
We're only sayin' You're doin' fine,
Oklahoma! Oklahoma--O.K.
