Album: Wonderful Town SoundtrackOhioEILEEN 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 --

AND DATING THOSE DRIPS THAT I’VE KNOWN SINCE I’M FOUR.
