They came from Oklahoma
They said the end of the world
Was on its way, in a Chevy nova
They came from Oklahoma
They said the end of the world
Was on its way, in a Chevy nova
They tied everyone to their chairs
Then danced the gravy train
They sawed off all their shotguns
Shot the kettle drum and drank iced tea
From a monkey's butthole
They sawed off all their shotguns
Shot the kettle drum and drank iced tea
From a monkey's butthole
They bit their fingers off in a frenzy
Then danced the gravy train
Their leader was an ostrich
Dressed up to look just like
A lincoln log in a cardigan sweater
Their leader was an ostrich
Dressed up to look just like
A lincoln log in a cardigan sweater
They made thirty million in small change
Then ate it all and exploded
They came from Oklahoma
They said the end of the world
Was on its way, in a Chevy nova
They came from Oklahoma
They said the end of the world
Was on its way, in a Chevy nova
They feared the wrath of the lord
So they danced the gravy train
