Parady lyrics of Okie From Muskoge" for Winter Texans by Marcia Van Den Wymelenberg
I heard this tune performed by 12 String Tim & Sharon, a Texas duo.
[Intro]
G D G
[Chorus]
G I’m proud to be a Senior Winter Texan, D It’s nice to be retired and free to play.
We still like to work at something sometimes,
G
But we like that a little less each day.[Verse 1]
G We don’t smoke marijuana in the valley. D We don’t smoke no big cigars or pipes.
We don’t ever buy no green bananas,
G
Cause we might not be around when they get ripe.[Verse 2]
G We love our winters here in southern Texas D There ain’t no snow and grass is always green.
The only blizzards now that makes us suffer
G
Are the kind we get down at the Dairy Queen[Chorus]
G I’m proud to be a Senior Winter Texan. D A refugee from all that ice and snow.
We don’t let our hair grow long and shaggy,
G
Cause some of us can’t get no hair to grow.[Verse 3]
G The old men still like to hug the women D Sometimes their minds become perplexed
They pucker up and kiss ‘em on the forehead
G
But then they can’t remember what comes next.[Verse 4]
G The men still love their women’s country cookin’ D Sometimes they get a twinkle in their eye
He smiles and puts his arms around her,
G
And he says, “Honey, how about a little piece ‘a apple pie?”[Chorus]
G I’m proud to be a Senior Winter Texan, D It’s nice to be retired and free to play.
We still like to work at something sometimes,
G
But we like that a little less each day.[Verse 5]
G There’s been so many changes in our bodies D We’re different from our younger days by far
For now, you see the women can’t get pregnant
G
But nearly all the men look like they are.[Verse 6]
G Now we don’t make a party out of lovin’ D And we don’t park and smooch in our old ford
We hardly can remember about romance
G
So mostly we just play shuffleboard.[Chorus]
G I’m proud to be a Senior Winter Texan D It’s nice to be retired and just have fun.
And now I know ya all will be delighted
G
To know that this goofy song is done![Tag]
D G It’s so great to be retired and havin’ fun D G In Rio Grande Valley, Texas, USA
