All across the south
They got the boogie bands
that sound so fine
And on both coasts
They've got the record
company machines
Turnin' out hits
on an assembly line
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
2-3-4
Yes indeed yes indeed
That's right that's right
Up north in Chicago
You got your
authentic blues bands
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
2-3-4
Oh I know it I know it
Come in Markie
Come in come in
Yes indeed yes indeed
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've got the beat
That's guaranteed
to tap your toes
And Oklahoma's
got the Tulsa shuffle
And this am the way it goes
2-3-4
