Dear Okie, if you see Arkie Tell 'im Tex got a job for him out in Californy Pickin' up prunes, squeezin' oil out of olives
Dear Okie, if you see Arkie Tell 'im Tex got a job for him out in Californy Rakin' up gold, playing fiddle in the Follies
Now, he'll be lucky if he finds a place to live But there's orange juice fountains flowing for those kids of his
So, Dear Okie, if you see Arkie Tell 'im Tex got a job for him out in Californy Diggin' oil wells, all he needs is a shovel
Dear Okie, if you see Arkie Tell 'im Tex got a job for him out in Californy Sellin' used cars, just a-waitin' for the suckers
Dear Okie, if you see Arkie Tell 'im Tex got a job for him out in Californy Handin' out checks, as a welfare worker
If he takes the Freeway to the grocery store He'll make it fine if he starts out the day before
Dear Okie, if you see Arkie Tell 'im Tex got a job for him out in Californy Pickin' up prunes, squeezin' oil out of olives
