Lyrics
- Talk abut your queens of the movie screens
Bathing beauties, and the cuties in magazines
You should see the bundle of charm
I found on a farm
Chorus
Down on the O-hi-O
I’ve got the cutest little O, my, O
There ain’t nobody half as pretty as she
And sweet as can be
And jumpin’ jeepers creepers
She’s crazy for me
And what an O, my, O
The only one I’ve met who ever thrilled me so
She is the cutest thing that I’ve ever seen
All milk and honey, if you know what I mean
With lots of O, my, O
Just wait till I get back to O-hi-O
- You may think you’ve seen lovers on the screen
They’re just very ordinary, by that I mean
Those heart breakers haven’t a chance
With my new romance
Chorus
Down on the O-hi-O
I’ve got the cutest, sweetest O, my, O
He’s just a country boy who works around farms
But he has his charms
And jumpin’ jeepers creepers
When I’m in his arms
I get so O, my, O
He is the only one who ever thrilled me so
He knows his chickens and his cabbages, too
But where the dickens did he learn to “woo woo?”
He’s got that O, my, O
Just wait till I get back to O-hi-O
