Lyrics

:Aunt Eller

They couldn't pick a better time to start in life!
It ain't too early and it ain't too late.

:Laurey

Startin' as a farmer with a brand new wife

:Curly

Soon be livin' in a brand new state!

:All

Brand new state!
Gonna treat you great!

:Fred

Gonna give you barley
Carrots and pertaters

:Cord Elam

Pasture for the Cattle

:Carnes

Spinach and termayters!

:Aunt Eller

Flowers on the prairie where the June bugs zoom

:Ike

Plen'y of air and plen'y of room

:Fred

Plen'y of room to swing a rope!

:Aunt Eller

Plen'y of heart and plen'y of hope!

:Curly

Oklahoma where the wind comes sweeping 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 two is grand!
and when we say

:All

Yeow! A-yip-i-o-ee-ay!

:Curly

We're only sayin',
"You're doin' fine,
Oklahoma! Oklahoma! O.K.!

:All

Oklahoma where the wind comes sweeping 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!
Yi Yi
Yippy Yippy!
and when we say
Yeow! A-yip-i-o-ee-ay!
We're only sayin',
"You're doin' fine,
Oklahoma! Oklahoma! O.K.!
Oklahoma! x5
we know we belong to the land
and the land we belong to is grand!
and when we say
Yeow! A-yip-i-o-ee-ay!
We're only sayin',
"You're doin' fine,
Oklahoma! Oklahoma! O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A
Oklahoma! Yeow!
