 Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer

Lots of folks back east they say 
Leaving home most every day 
Beating the hot old dusty way 
To the California line 
'Cross the desert sands they roll 
Getting out of that Old Dust Bowl 
Think they're coming to a sugar bowl 
But here's what they find 
Police at the port of entry say 
You're number fourteen thousand for to day 

Hey, if you ain't got the Do Re Mi, boy 
If you ain't got the Do Re Mi 
Well, you better go back to beautiful Texas 
Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee 
California is the garden of Eden 
It's 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 

You want to buy a home or a farm 
That can't do nobody harm 
Take your vacation by the mountains or sea 
Don't swap your old cow for a car 
You better stay right where you are 
Better take this little tip from me 
Well, I look through the want ads every day 
The headlines in the papers always say
