[Chorus]
La-la-la, la-la
Oh, hey-hey-hey
La-la-la, la-la

[Verse 1]
Every year 'bout this time the local gentry
Have a meetin' in Chickasaw land
They all come to judge each and every entry
That wants to try out for the Okolona band

[Verse 2]
All the way from Kosciusko
Up from Biloxi shore
All in all, there's not a half-grown man
Who wouldn't like to be
In the Okolona River Bottom Band

[Chorus]
La-la-la, la-la
Oh, hey-hey-hey
La-la-la, la-la

[Bridge]
The semi-annual
Come as you can-ual
Five-man band-ual
Okolona River Bottom Band
[Chorus]
La-la-la, la-la
Oh, hey-hey-hey
La-la-la, la-la

[Bridge]
The backwood majority
No hold barrèd-y
Come as you are-edy
Okolona River Bottom Band

[Refrain]
La-la-la, la-la

[Verse 2]
All the way from Kosciusko
Up from Biloxi shore
All in all, there's not a half-grown man
Who wouldn't like to be
In the Okolona River Bottom Band

[Refrain]
La-la-la, la-la

[Bridge]
The I-told-you-so-ciety
Green apple pie-ety
Delta variety
Okolona River Bottom Band
[Chorus]
La-la-la, la-la
Oh, hey-hey-hey
La-la-la, la-la

[Outro]
(I gave you my dog)
Oh, I got a dog
(You, you got a friend?)
Don't I?
(That's the end)
Amen
