Bobbie Gentry
Okolona River Bottom Band
[Intro]
La la la la la
Ooh hey hey hey
La la la la la

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

[Pre-Chorus]
All the way from the Kosciusko
Up from Biloxi Shore
All in all, there's not a half grown man
That wouldn't like to be in the Okolona River Bottom Band

[Chorus]
La la la la la
Ooh hey hey hey
La la la la la

[Verse 2]
The semi-annual
Come as you can-ual
Five man band-ual
Okolona River Bottom Band
[Chorus]
La la la la la
Ooh hey hey hey
La la la la la

[Verse 3]
The backwood majority
No hold barr-ity
Come as you are-ity
Okolona River Bottom Band
La la la la la

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
See, I told you society
Green apple pie-ety
Delta variety
Okolona River Bottom Band
[Chorus]
La la la la la
Ooh hey hey hey
La la la la la
