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 Wondering while I wonder Why did I fly Why did I roam Oh why oh why oh Did I (You) leave Ohio Maybe I'd better go Home O H I O Maybe I'd (You'd) better go Home
Well mother this song still doesn't explain why you abandoned your children Ohio was stifling and we couldn't wait to get out of the place And I told you "Sue we're going to be hunting Nazis " And Pop said "Sue this might take a little while " Well those Nazis are slippery and me hunting them way down in Lima Peru And we'd get postcards from Niagara Falls Well I'm stalking Mengele in Bolivian malls Three times a year we'd get crackling phone calls Happy birthday "Hunting Nazis " Merry Christmas "Hunting Nazis " Homesick Abandoned Heartsick Neglected Thank heavens we're free Why oh why oh why oh Why did I ever leave Ohio Oh why oh why oh Did I (You) leave Ohio Maybe I'd better stay Home
