   Lots ...            leaving...          Beatin'...           etc...

[Verse]
E
Lots of folks back east they say,
     A
Is leaving home, every day,
B
Beatin’ the hot old dusty way
                    E
To the California line
E
Cross the desert sands they roll,
A
Gettin’ out of that ol’ dust bowl.
        B                                                       E
They think they’re goin’ to a sugar bowl, but here’s what they find:

[Chorus]
     B
Now the police at the port of entry say,        *

You’re number fourteen thousand for today.
            E
Oh, if you ain’t got the do-re-mi, folks,
                        B
If you ain’t got the do-re-mi,

Well, you better go back to beautiful Texas,
                             E
Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee.
                                                         A
California is a Garden of Eden, a paradise to live in or see.
      E
But believe it or not, you won’t find it so hot
        B                  E
If you ain’t got the do-re-mi

[Verse]
If you want to buy a home or farm,
That can't deal nobody harm,
Or take your vacation
By the mountains or sea
Don’t swap your old cow for a car,
You better stay right where you are,
You better take this little tip from me.

[Outro]
* ‘Cause I look through the want ads every day,
But the headlines on the papers always say
If you ain't ...
