C                                     FLots of folks back East, they say, is leavin' home every day,
G                                               CBeatin' the hot old dusty way to the California line.
                                   F              'Cross the desert sands they roll, gettin' out of that old dust bowl,
     G                                                         CThey think they're goin' to a sugar bowl, but here's what they find 
         GNow, the police at the port of entry say,

"You're number fourteen thousand for today." 

           C                                                      GOh, if you ain't got the do re mi, folks, you ain't got the do re mi,
                                                                             CWhy, you better go back to beautiful Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee.
                                                         FCalifornia is a garden of Eden, a paradise to live in or see;
      CBut believe it or not, you won't find it so hot
                     G     CIf you ain't got the do re mi. 

C                                     FYou want to buy you a home or a farm, that can't deal nobody harm,
   G                                      COr take your vacation by the mountains or sea.
                                       FDon't swap your old cow for a car, you better stay right where you are,
G                                CBetter take this little tip from me.
         G'Cause I look through the want ads every day

But the headlines on the papers always say: 

           C                                                     GOh, if you ain't got the do re mi, boys, you ain't got the do re mi,

                                                         FCalifornia is a garden of Eden, a paradise to live in or see;
      CBut believe it or not, you won't find it so hot
                     G     CIf you ain't got the do re mi.
