Oklahoma! Lyrics by Shirley Jones, Gordon MacRae, Charlotte Greenwood

Oklahoma! (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

1955

[AUNT ELLER]
They couldn't pick a better time to start in life
[ANDREW]
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
[COMPANY]
Brand new state!
Gonna treat you great!
[ASSORTED MEN]
Gonna give you barley, carrots and pertaters
Pasture fer the cattle
Spinach and termayters
[AUNT ELLER]
Flowers on the prarie where the June bugs zoom
Plenty of air and plenty of room
[ANDREW]
Plenty o' room to swing a rope!
[AUNT ELLER]
Plenty of heart and plenty of hope
[CURLY]
Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' 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
And when we say
[COMPANY]
Yeeow A-yip-i-o-e-ay
[CURLY]
We're only sayin'
You're doin' fine, Oklahoma
Oklahoma, O.K
[COMPANY]
Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain
Oklahama, where the wavin' wheat, can sure smell sweet
When the wind comes right behind the rain
Oklahoma, ev'ry night my honey lamb and I
Every night we sit alone and talk
And watch a hawk
Makin' lazy circles in the sky (Sky)
We know we belong to the land (Yoho)
And the land we belong to is grand
Yip-i-yi, Yip-i-yi, Yip-i-yi, Yip-i-yi, Yip-i-yi, Yip-i-yi
And when we say
Yeeow A-yip-i-o-e-ay
We're only sayin'
You're doin' fine, Oklahoma
Oklahoma, you're O.K
Okla-homa-Okla-homa-Okla-homa
Okla-homa-Okla-homa-Okla-homa
[CURLY & LAURY]
We know we belong to the land
And the land we belong to is grand
And when we say
[ALL]
Yeeow A-yip-i-o-e-ay
We're only sayin'
You're doin' fine, Oklahoma
Oklahoma, O-K-
L - A - H - O - M - A
Oklahoma
Yeeow
