Oklahoma Backroom Dancer lyrics

She's always appearing with a band of renown

You want to go and see her when you're feeling down

She's a breathtaking spectacle, with guaranteed hope

She'll make you feel good, 'cause she's the best thing since soap

She'll greet you in the alley with a .45 smile [or fortified smile]

She's the original sideshow and she's got her own style.

Pardon my baby, she got to have her fun

Yes, I say, pardon my baby, she got to have her fun

'Cause she's a Oklahoma backroom dancer, watch her run.

Now, she dances on air just like Superman's child

Like a filter-tip cig-rette, she's wild but she's mild

She's more fun than Colorado, and more far-out than Maine

She comes on like thunder and she's more right than rain

She's the mother of earth, and the goddess of thirst

She's the chicken and the egg and whichever came first.

Pardon my baby, she got to have her chance

Oh, I say pardon my baby, she got to have her chance.

'Cause she's a Oklahoma backroom dancer, watch her dance.

Yeah, I say pardon my baby, she got to have her fun

Yeah, I say pardon my baby, she got to have her fun

Yes, she's a Oklahoma backroom dancer, watch her run.

Woooo! My, My!
