Why oh why oh why oh
Why did I ever leave Ohio?
Why did I wander to find what lies yonder?
When life was so cosy at home

Sue & Doris
Wondrin' why I wander
Why did I fly, why did I roam?
Oh why oh why oh did I leave Ohio?
Maybe I'd better go
O-H-I-O
Maybe I'd better go home


Thank heavens we're free
Why oh why oh why oh
Why did I ever leave Ohio?
Oh why oh why
Did I leave Ohio?
Maybe I'd better stay home

Version Originale:

why, oh why, oh why, oh -- 
why did i ever leave Ohio? 
why did i wander to find what lies yonder 
when life was so cozy at home? 

wondering while i wander, 
why did i fly? 
why did i roam? 
oh, why oh, why oh 
did i leave Ohio? 
maybe I'd better go 

home. 
o -- h -- i -- o. 

maybe I'd better go home. 


now listen 
Ohio was stifling. 
we just couldn't wait to get out of the place, 
with mom saying --, what no date for this evening? 
and pop with, do be home, dear, by ten. 

ugh! 

the gossipy neighbors 
and everyone yapping who's going with whom -- 

and dating those drips that I've known since I'm four. 
the Kiwanis club dance. 
on the basketball floor. 
cousin Maude with her lectures on sin 
what a bore! 
Jerry black! 

cousin min! 

Ezra Nye! 

hannah finn! 

hopeless! 

babbity! 

stuffy! 

provincial! 

thank heavens we're free! 

why, oh why, oh why, oh -- 
why did we ever leave Ohio?! 

wondering while we wander, 
why did we fly? 
why did we roam? 
oh, why oh, why oh 
did we leave Ohio? 
maybe we'd better go 
home. 
o -- h -- i -- o. 

maybe we'd better go home.
