歌词
Lots of folks back east, they say
Leavin' home most every day
Beatin' the hot old dusty way
To the California line
'Cross desert sands they roll
Gettin' out of that old dust bowl
Think they're comin' to a sugar bowl
But here's what they find
Police at the port of entry say
"You're number fourteen thousand for today"
Hey, if you ain't got that do re mi, boy
If you ain't got that do re mi
Well, you better go back to beautiful Texas
Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee
California's a Garden of Eden
It's a paradise to live in or see
But believe it or not
You won't find it so hot
If you ain't got that do re mi
You wanna buy you a home or a farm
That can't deal no bloody harm
Take your vacation by the mountains or sea
Don't swap your old cow for a car
Better stay right where you are
Better take this little tip from me
Look through the want ads every day
The headlines in the papers always say
Now, if you ain't got that do re mi, boy
If you ain't got that do re mi
(You better go back)
California's a Garden of Eden
It's a paradise to live in or see
But believe it or not
You won't find it so hot
If you ain't got that do re mi
