Ray DaviesAbout
A song about a woman who works a boring job, and spends all her time dreaming that she’s a glamorous movie star. It’s humorous because she dreams of living in Oklahoma, because of the movie “Oklahoma!” but in reality, Oklahoma is one of the least glamorous places in the world.
Oklahoma, U.S.A. Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All life we work but work is a bore
If life's for livin', what's livin' for?
She lives in a house that's near decay
Built for the industrial revolution
[Chorus]
But in her dreams she is far away
In Oklahoma, U.S.A
With Shirley Jones and Gordon MacRae
[Verse 2]
While she buys her papers at the corner shop
She's walking on the surrey with the fringe on top
[Chorus]
Cause in her dreams she is far away
In Oklahoma, U.S.A
[Bridge]
She walks to work but she's still in a daze
She's Rita Hayworth or Doris Day
And Errol Flynn's gonna take her away
To Oklahoma, U. S. A
[Verse 1]
All life we work but work is a bore
If life's for livin', then what's livin' for?
