 G                                            
  Well thousands of folks back east, they say,
 C                                
  Are leavinâ home most every day,
 D7                                    G                
  Beatinâ the hot old dusty way to the  California line.
 ÎCross the desert sands they roll,
 C                                  
  Getting out of that old dust bowl.
      D7                                   
 They  think theyâre going to a sugar bowl,
     G                       
 But  here is what they find.
         D7                               
 Now the  police at the port of entry say,
 ãHey youâre number fourteen thousand for today.ä
 
 Chorus:
           G                            
 Oh if you  ainât got that do re mi boy,
                                 D7  
 Well if you ainât got the do re  mi,
 Why you better go back to beautiful Texas,
                                  G   
 Oklahoma, Georgia, Kansas, Tennessee.
 California is a Garden of Eden,
                               C    
 Itâs a paradise to live in or  see.
       G           D7    G          C           G    
 But believe it or  not,  you wonât  find it so  hot,
                      C   D7  G   
 If you ainât got the  do  re  mi.
 
 If you want to buy you a home or farm,
 That canât do nobody harm,
 Or take your vacation by the mountains or the sea.
 Donât swap your old cow for a car,
 Youâd better stay right where you are,
 Youâd better take this little tip from me.
 ÎCause I look through the want ads every day,
 And the headlines in the papers always say . . .
 
 Chorus
 
        G           D7    G          C           G    
 Yeah believe it or  not,  you wonât  find it so  hot,
                      C   D7  G   
 If you ainât got the  do  re  mi.
