[G]
[N]
[Eb] We don't smoke marijuana in Roscoe Gate.
We don't take our trips on [Bb] LSD.
We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street.
We like living right, [D] [Eb] being free.
We don't make a party out of loving.
We like holding hands and pitching [Bb] woo.
We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy,
like the hippies out in San Francisco [Eb] do.
And I'm proud to be an Okie from Roscoe Gate,
a place where even squares can [Bb] have a ball.
We still wave old flooring down at the pool house,
and white lightning still biggest [Eb] thrill of all.
[E]
Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear.
Beads and Roman sandals [B] won't be seen.
Football's still the roughest thing on campus,
and the kids here still respect the [E] college dean.
All together, everybody!
And I'm proud to be an Okie from Roscoe Gate.
Thank you!
A place where even squares can have a [B] ball.
