All life we work but work is bore
If life's for livin' what's livin' for
She lives in a house that's near decay
Built for the industrial revolution

But in her dreams she is far away
In Oklahoma U.S.A.

With Shirley Jones and Gordon McRea
As she buys her paper at the corner shop
She's walkin' on the surrey with the fringe on top

Cos in her dreams she is far away
In Oklahoma U.S.A.

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.

All life we work but work is a bore
If life's for livin' then what's livin' for

i love the gatefold of that lp... panoramic view of an english pub!

i mean the exterior gatefold. the interior gatefold is a panoramic view of the kinks hanging out in an old neighborhood of rowhouses about to be demolished, right?

...but have you noticed the yuppies sitting in the pub window in the background??? OMINOUS

I went to an authentic British pub last night and they were out of Champion Rider!
