Do Re Mi - Bob Dylan

Lots of folks back east they say

«Hello» every day

Hitting the hard old dusty way to the California line

Across that desert sand they go

They’re getting out of the old dust bowl

They think they’re going to a sugar bowl

But here is what they find

Oh the police at the port of entry say

«You're number fourteen thousand for today»

And, well if you ain’t got the do re mi, boy

If you ain’t got the do re mi

Better go on back to beautiful Texas

Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee

California is the garden of eden

A paradise to live in or see

But believe it or not

You won’t find it so hot

If you ain’t got the do re mi

If you want a house or farm

That won’t do nobody harm

Take your vacation by the mountains or the sea

Don’t swap that old cow for a car

Better stay right where you are

You had better take this tip from me

Cause I read it in the want ads every day

And the headlines on the papers always say

If you ain’t got the do re mi, boy

If you ain’t got the do re mi

Better go on back to beautiful Texas

Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee

California is a garden of eden

A paradise to live in or see

But believe it or not

You won’t find it so hot

If you ain’t got the do re mi
