I was born in Oklahoma.
I always liked the oak aroma,
But one thing I don't know-a:
Why am I singing this way?
I've never been to Great Britain.
I'm sure it's a nice place to sit in,
But one thing that doesn't fit in:
Why am I singing this way?
When I was young, I moved to Texas.
I'm as Texan as Tex Mex is,
But one thing that perplexes:
Why am I singing this way?
I've never seen a British movie.
I'm sure they're mostly pretty groovy,
But one thing that's confused me:
Why am I singing this way?
I like to go to Mississippi,
But they call me an English hippy.
I say, "Don't be so blooming lippy!".
Why am I singing this way?
I was born in Oklahoma.
I always liked the oak aroma,
But one thing I don't know-a:
Why am I singing this way?
Why am I singing this way?
(Yippie-eye-ay!)
