Ohio - Michael Fitzpatrick

Why oh why oh why oh

Why did I ever leave Ohio?

Why did I wander

To find what lies yonder

When life was so cozy at home?

Wandering while I wander

Why did I fly

Why did i roam?

Oh why oh why oh did i leave ohio?

Maybe id better go

O-H-I-O (home)

Maybe id better go

Home

Now listen Eileen,

Ohio was stifling

We just couldnt wait to get outta the place!

With ma saying «Ruth, what, no dates for this evening?»

And pops with «Eileen, do be home dear by ten.»

(Both) EUUGH

Those gossipy neighbors,

And everyone yacking «Whos going with who?»

And dating those drips that I’ve know since I’m four!

The Kiwanis club dance

On the basket ball floor!

Cousin Maude with with her lectures on sin

(Both) What a bore!

Jerry Black!

Cousin Min!

Ezra Nye!

Hannah Finn!

Just Hopeless!

Babbity!

Stuffy!

Provincial!

THANK HEAVEN WE’RE FREE!

Why oh why oh why oh?

Why did we ever leave Ohio?!

Wondering while we wander

Why did we fly

Why did we roam?

Oh why oh why oh did we leave Ohio?

Maybe we’d better go

O-H-I-O (Home)

Maybe we’d better go…
