Well, thousands of folks, back east they say
Are leavin' home most everyday
They're beatin' the hot ole dusty way
To the California line

Across the desert sands they roll
A-gettin' outta that ole dust bowl
They think, they're goin' to a sugar bowl
But, here is what they find

The police at the port of entry say
You're number 14,000 for the day

If you ain't got that Do Re Mi boys
If you ain't got that Do Re Mi
Oh, you better go back to beautiful Texas
Oklahoma, Georgia, Kansas, Tennessee

California is a garden of Eden
It's a paradise to live in or see
Believe it or not you won't find it so hot

Well, if you wanna buy you a home or farm
That can't deal nobody harm
Or take your vacations by the mountains or the sea
Don't swap your old cow for a car

You'd better stay right where you are
You better take this little tip from me
'Cause I look through the want ads every day
And the headlines in the papers always say

If you ain't got that Do Re Mi boys
If you ain't got that Do Re Mi
Oh, you better go back to beautiful Texas
Oklahoma, Georgia, Kansas, Tennessee

California is a garden of Eden
It's a paradise to live in or see
Believe it or not you won't find it so hot
If you ain't got that Do Re Mi
