We don’t smoke Marijuana We don’t take our trips of LSD We like to just live right here Where the air’s fresh and life is free We don’t make lovin’ to make a party We don’t need to get with to get some fun We just prefer to hold each other’s hands And go fishing in the sun We don’t go round bare-chested We don’t wear skimpy clothes Roman sandals are a nada Leather boots are still à la mode We don’t need to go out getting drunk Here even Squares can have a ball Going to the shops is still an event White lightning’s still the biggest thrill of all Down here football’s the roughest sport Long, shaggy hair definitely won’t be seen A large patch of open land is our campus And Kids down here respect the village dean So please forgive me if I don’t understand Forgive me if I feel a little out of place I’m just proud to be an Oakie from Down there we slow the pace. Yes I’m just an Oakie from Muskogee Yes I’m proud to be an Oakie from Muskogee
