Let me make it clear

It rains in Seattle more than it does here

We have lots of fun

Raising bananas one by one

I must be, I must be in Oregon.

The sky is hanging low

As a clothesline full of clothes

As your hair all full of rain

As my heart sometimes does

I must be, oh I must be in Oregon.

My life, it got too wild

down the hole I followed Alice

When I needed peace and quiet

Well, I popped up in Corvallis

I must be, I must be in Oregon.

If you want a little snow

Up to Mount Hood you can go

My baby blows me away

In lingerie and Pendleton

I must be, I must be in Oregon.

Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain

Rain, rain, rain, sun, rain

Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain

Rain, rain, rain, rain, sun

I must be, I must be in Oregon.

I'm gonna go up on the Umpqua

Catch me a big old trout

I'm gonna go up on the Umpqua

And drag his bad ass trout ass out.

<gonna kick him out>

Well just the other day

My friend Jim stopped by to say

His old Volvo didn't die

It just completely rusted away

I must be, I must be in Oregon.

Ah, my baby loves me so

Outside we never go

We play Scrabble by the fire

Make love 'til we expire

I must, I must be in Oregon.

There's rain down in the alleys

Rain down in the street

It was raining when we parted

It'll rain next time we meet

And I must, I must be in Oregon.

I know I must be, I must be in Oregon.
