5 6 6 6 6 -6 6 -5 5 -4 4 5 5 We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee, And we 6 6 6 -6 6 -5 5 -4 6 -5 -5 don't take our trips on L. S. D. And we don't -5 -5 -5 5 -4 -4 4 -3 6 6 burn our draft cards down on Main Street. But we 6 6 -5 5 -4 4 -3 4 (hold note) like living right and being free. Chorus 5 6 6 6 6 6 -6 6 -5 5 -4 4 5 And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee; A 6 6 6 6 -6 6 -5 5 -4 -5 place where even squares can have a ball. We -5 -5 5 -5 5 -4 -4 4 4 -3 still wave Ol' Glory down at-the Court House, 6 6 6 6 -5 5 -4 4 -3 White lightning's still the biggest thrill of 4 (hold note) all. We don't make a party out of loving, But we like holding hands and pitching woo. We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy, Like the hippies out in San Francisco do--- Leather boots are still in style if a man needs footwear, Beads and Roman sandals won't be seen. Football's still the roughest thing on campus, And the kids here still respect the College Dean--- |
