"Oklahoma U.S.A." lyrics

"Oklahoma U.S.A."

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
In Oklahoma, U.S.A.
With Shirley Jones and Gordon MacRae

While she buys her papers at the corner shop
She's walking on the surrey with the fringe on top

Cause in her dreams she is 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's gonna take her away
To Oklahoma, U.S.A.

All life we work but work is a bore
If life's for livin', then what's livin' for?
