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

: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

- we know we belong to the land
- and the land we belong to is grand!
- Yi Yi

- and when we say
- Yeow! A-yip-i-o-ee-ay!
- We're only sayin',
- "You're doin' fine,
