Verse :
  Well, in seventeen and seven four, they sought a better way
  People swore they couldn't affore,' but still they had no say
  Jefferson and them that won, for life and liberty
    Stood by George at Valley Forge, 'gainst all odds to be free

Verse :
By eighteen hundred and sixty's light, the yarn had all but spun
'Civil fight they called states' right, with brother had begun
Truth be told, the country bold, had come into it's own
Though manifest first drove 'em west, t'was Lincoln showed 'em home

Refrain :
  Okie Dokie, Okie Dokie, Okie Dokie little okie, Okie Dokie
  When it came to strike the band, that yankee honored Dixie Land;
  Okie Dokie little okie, Okie Dokie

Verse :
Now, in nineteen hundred and sixty four, another hundred years
Two world wars, broke another door, to heartbreak and tears
A sober nod, with thanks to God, left just as soon to blind
For once the march had lost His heart, 'paid no never mind.

Refrain :
  Okie Dokie, Okie Dokie, Okie Dokie little okie, Okie Dokie
  With a tattered flag in hand, Yankee Doodle made a stand;
  Okie Dokie little okie, Okie Dokie

Verse :
Today the tune that's in our head, tests all those alive
Cash now red flows through the fed, where one plus one is five
But if we give up the silver cup, God given liberty
All her pain would be in vain, for freedom we've received.

Refrain :

  Okie Dokie, Okie Dokie, Okie Dokie little okie, Okie Dokie
  There's a will, there is a way and Yankee Doodle had his say;
  Okie Dokie little okie, Okie Dokie

Refrain :
  Okie Dokie, Okie Dokie, Okie Dokie little okie, Okie Dokie
  With a feather and a bang, our Yankee Doodle marched and sang;
  Okie Dokie little okie, Okie Dokie
