"Happy Oklahoma" lyrics - HANK THOMPSON

Happy Oklahoma that's the name of my hometown
They laugh and joke if they're rich or broke
'Cause it's against the law to frown
Everybody treats you right, everyday the big fish bite
Where even the dogs and cats don't fight in Happy Oklahoma

You see the cattle grazing by the oil wells on the hill
But you always see a lot more smiles
Than you ever see dollar bills
Everyday's like New Year's Eve
With the mistletoe and all the trees
When I get back I'll never leave oh Happy Oklahoma

Happy Oklahoma a town everyone enjoys
The girls like guys they wear Levi's
But you can tell that they're not boys
We work when there's work to do
But we got a lot of play time too
And the politicians all have a barbecue
In the Happy Oklahoma

We once had a little jailhouse right in the center of town
But we never had any use for it so we tore the dern thing down
Sometime it forgets to rain, but you hear no one complain
'Cause the water in the well tastes like champagne in Happy Oklahoma

My baby doll is waiting there soon she'll say 'I do'
Then I'll spend my happy life just a making her happy too
I'm going back right away and live till judgement day
I'll beg St. Peter to let me stay in Happy Oklahoma

Live till judgement day
Beg St. Peter to let me stay in Happy Oklahoma
