Okolona River Bottom Band Lyrics - Bobbie Gentry

La la la la la 

Ooh hey hey hey 

La la la la la 

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 theres 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-edy 

Come as you are-edy 

Okolona River Bottom Band 

La la la la la 

All the way from Kosciusko 

Up from Biloxi Shore 

All in all theres 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
