Words and Music by Randal Walker
Copyright 1999 - Beyond The Asphalt Music (BMI)
Vocals by Randal Walker

Back in Oklahoma there's a place I go,
Where they combine the boogie-woogie with The Cotton-Eyed Joe;
It's just a little bit of this and a little bit of that;
Be sure to wear your Tony Lamas and your cowboy hat.
It gets a little crowded when they strike up the band,
But they'll accommodate you just the best that they can.....

CHORUS:
Down at the Okie Pokey;
They do the Okie Pokey;
Down at the Okie Pokey;
The jumpin'-est jukejoint this side of the.....
M-I-crooked letter-crooked letter-I
Crooked letter-Crooked letter-I
Humpback-Humpback-I;
Mississippi River,
And North of the Rio Grand.
Belly-up-to-the-bar; grab a drink; grab a seat,
And long before you know it you'll be up on your feet,
Dancin' to that crazy Okie Pokey beat that they're known for.

You put your right boot in;
You put your right boot out;
You put your right boot in,
Then you jump and you shout along with 'em....
To that Okie Pokey rhythm.

You put your left boot in;
You put your left boot out;
You put your left boot in,
Then you jump and you shout along with 'em....
To that Okie Pokey rhythm.

It's nothin' high-falootin', you can come as you are.
For rootin'-scootin' your boots, there's just no better, by far.
You can shoot for the moon or you can swing from a star.
At Okie Pokey's you'll find....
An okey dokey good time....
So come and get it.

(repeat CHORUS)
