Ooh, hey, hey, hey

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

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

La, la, la, la, la
Ooh, hey, hey, hey
La, la, la, la, la

The semi-annual
Come as you can-ual
Five man band-ual
Okolona River Bottom Band

La, la, la, la, la
Ooh, hey, hey, hey
La, la, la, la, la

The backwood majority
No hold barr-ity
Come as you are-ity
Okolona River Bottom Band
La, la, la, la, la

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

La, la, la, la, la

See, I told you society
Green apple pie-ety
Delta variety
Okolona River Bottom Band

La, la, la, la, la
Ooh, hey, hey, hey
La, la, la, la, la

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, oh, oh
