All life we work, but work is a bore
|
If life's for livin', what's livin' for?
|
She lives in a house that's near decay
|
Built for the industrial revolution
|
But in her dreams, she is far away, far away
|
In Oklahoma, U.S.A.
|
|
With Shirley Jones and Gordon McRea
|
As she buys her papers at the cornershop
|
She's walkin' on the surrey with the fringe on top
|
'Cause in her dreams, she is far away, far away
|
In Oklahoma, U.S.A.
|
|
She walks to work, but she's still in a daze
|
She's Rita Hayworth or Doris Day
|
And Errol Flynn wants to take her away
|
To Oklahoma, U.S.A.
|
|
All life we work, but work is a bore
|
If life's for livin', what's livin' for?
