Way down south in Okefenokee (whoo),
Where the sun goes down and the air gets cool (whoo),
There's a real neat beat travelin' over the water,
An' it's makin' me a dancin' fool.

(Okefenokee, Okefenokee, joo-wah, joo-wah, joo-wah.)

Out on a lake down in Okefenokee (whoo),
There's a river boat where the cats all go (whoo).
Stompin' their feet and clappin' in rhythm (whoo),
It's wilder than a rodeo. Freddy pronouces it, ro-day'-oh.

(Okefenokee, Okefenokee, joo-wah, joo-wah, joo-wah.)

Instrumental break.

On the deck of the boat down in Okefenokee (whoo),
Met a Georgia peach who was rarin' to go (whoo).
We danced up a storm with the tom-toms boomin' (whoo),
Till someone hollered, "Fire below."

Well, the boat went down in Okefenokee (whoo),
Well, the cats and the chicks scrambled for the door (whoo).
My baby and I stole a kiss on the water (whoo),
I kissed her all the way to shore.

(Okefenokee, Okefenokee, joo-wah, joo-wah, joo-wah.)

I wan' a-Georgia.
(Whoo!)
Let's get outta here, sugar.
Yeah, bye, bye.
So long for now, baby.
C'mon Georgia!
Let's cut outta here, baby.
Fade.
C'mon, swing it, baby.
C'mon, honey.
Aw, sugar.
Please, baby...
