Ohio Lyrics > Wonderful Town

Eileen and ruth

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?

Wond’ring 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

Eileen ruth home.
O -- h -- i -- o.

Eileen and ruth

Maybe i’d better go home.

Ruth

Now listen, eileen,
Ohio was stifling.
We just couldn’t wait to get out of the place,
With mom saying -- ‘ruth, what no date for this evening’’

Eileen

And pop with, ‘eileen, do be home, dear, by ten.’

Ruth and eileen

Ugh!

Ruth

The gossipy neighbors
And everyone yapping who’s going with whom

Eileen

And dating those drips that i’ve known since i’m four.

Ruth

The kiwanis club dance.

Eileen

On the basketball floor.

Ruth

Cousin maude with her lectures on sin

Ruth and eileen

What a bore!

Eileen

Jerry black!


Ruth

Cousin min!


Eileen

Ezra nye!


Ruth

Hannah finn!


Eileen

Hopeless!


Ruth

Babbity!


Eileen

Stuffy!

Ruth

Provincial!


Ruth and eileen

Thank heavens we’re free!

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

Wond’ring 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

Eileen ruth home.
O -- h -- i -- o.

Ruth and eileen

Maybe we’d better go home.
