Griffith Nanci – Do Re Mi lyrics

well thousands of folks back east they say
are leaving home most everyday
they're beatin the hot old dusty way
to the california line
across the desert sands they roll
gettin' outta that old dust bowl
they think they're going to a sugar bowl
but here is what they find
oh the police at the port of entrance say
"hey, you're number 14000 for the day"
if you ain't got that do-re-mi boy
well, if you ain't got that do-re-mi
oh, you'd better go back to beautiful texas
oklahoma, georgia, kansas, tennessee
california is 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
well do you wanta buy your home or farm
that can't do nobody harm
or take your vacation by the mountains or the sea
then swap your old cow for a car
you'd better stay right where you are
you'd better take this little tip from me
cause i look through the want ads everyday
and the headlines in the paper always say
if you ain't got that do-re-mi boy
oh, if you ain't got that do-re-mi
oh, you'd better go back to beautiful texas
oklahoma, georgia, kansas, tennessee
california is 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-m
believe it or not you won't find it so hot
if you don't that do-re-mi
