Lyrics
better take this little tip from me
Lots of folks back east, that can t deal nobody harm Mellencamp, but believe it or not
you ain t got the do re mi
Beatin the hot old dusty way to the california line, if you ain t got the do re mi
But believe it or not, you better go back to beautiful texas
You won t find it so hot, better take this little tip from me, better take this little tip from me
beatin the hot old dusty way to the california line
if you ain t got the do re mi
you better go back to beautiful texas
the police at the port of entry say
that can t deal nobody harm
If you ain t got the do re mi, they think they re goin to a sugar bowl, but here s what they find
but believe it or not
If you ain t got the do re mi, if you ain t got the do re mi Mi, california is a garden of eden
Cross the desert sands they roll, but the headlines on the papers always say
Better take this little tip from me, you won t find it so hot, better take this little tip from me
you ain t got the do re mi
A paradise to live in or see, but here s what they find, a paradise to live in or see
You ain t got the do re mi, you ain t got the do re mi Mellencamp, or take your vacation by the mountains or sea
Beatin the hot old dusty way to the california line, you won t find it so hot
A paradise to live in or see, you won t find it so hot, if you ain t got the do re mi
Beatin the hot old dusty way to the california line, if you ain t got the do re mi
cause i look through the want ads every day
you better go back to beautiful texas
A paradise to live in or see, you better stay right where you are, that can t deal nobody harm
You want to buy you a home or a farm, gettin out of that old dust bowl Do, if you ain t got the do re mi
You ain t got the do re mi, california is a garden of eden John, but believe it or not
If you ain t got the do re mi, they think they re goin to a sugar bowl, or take your vacation by the mountains or sea
but believe it or not
Cause i look through the want ads every day, a paradise to live in or see
Cause i look through the want ads every day, if you ain t got the do re mi
but believe it or not
california is a garden of eden
don t swap your old cow for a car
you re number fourteen thousand for today.
but believe it or not
lots of folks back east
If you ain t got the do re mi, you better go back to beautiful texas
If you ain t got the do re mi, california is a garden of eden
a paradise to live in or see
lots of folks back east
But the headlines on the papers always say, you ain t got the do re mi Re, but the headlines on the papers always say
Beatin the hot old dusty way to the california line, but here s what they find, you re number fourteen thousand for today.

You better go back to beautiful texas, but believe it or not
