The Tulsa Shuffle

All across the south...

They've got the boogie bands that sound so fine

On both coasts they've got the record company machines

Turnin' out hits on an assembly line

But in the heart of America...we've got the beat

That's guaranteed to tap your toes

Oklahoma's got the Tulsa shuffle...

And this am the way it goes....



Up north in Chicago...

You've got your authentic blues bands

And way down yonder in New Orleans...

They got a thing they call Dixieland

All around this whole wide world...

There's one thing that everybody knows

All God's children love the Tulsa shuffle...

And this am the way it goes....



I love England--I love the Beatles

The who and the rolling stones

I love Nashville country and Texas Tex-Mex

And Cajun and Motown soul

But in the heart of America...we got the beat

That's guaranteed to tap your toes

Oklahoma's got the Tulsa shuffle

And this am the way it goes....
