Lots of folks back East, they say,
leavin' home every day,
Beatin' the hot old dusty way
to the California line.
'Cross the desert sands they roll,
gettin' out of that old dust bowl,
They think they're goin' to a sugar bowl,
but here is what they find
Now, the police at the port of entry- say,
"You're number fourteen thousand for today."
Oh, if you ain't got the do re mi, folks,
if you ain't got the do re mi,
Why, you better go back to beautiful Texas,
Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee.
California is a garden of Eden,
a paradise to live in or see;
But believe it or not,
you won't find it so hot
If you ain't got the do re mi.
