Oklahoma U.S.A.
The Kinks

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 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?
