All life we work but work is 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 McRea, 
As she buys her paper at the corner shop, 

She's walkin' 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.
