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?
Wondring 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...
O-H-I-O oh..O-H-I-O .
Maybe i' 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
-We'd get postcards from Niagara Falls..
While i' m stalking Mengele
in Bolivian malls
-Three times a year,
-we'd get cracking phone calls
-Happy birthday! -Hunting Nazis!
-Marry 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 leave Ohio?
Maybe I 'd better
Stay home..
