Lyrics
Oba in Manitoba (Okie In Muskogee)
Darren Kehler
Key: D
Verse 1
There are Mennonites aulawäajen in Manitoba
and that’s another way of sayin’ they’re everywhere
And some of us still know how to speak the Plautdietsch
But fluency is gettin’ kinda rare
Verse 2
Now a wall is called a Waunt when you’re in Reinlaundt
and the way that something goes is “woo daut jeit”
and if you pinch your pennies you might be jietsijch
and when you’re well-behaved you are je’scheit.
Chorus
Mennonites put the oba in Manitoba
‘Cause that’s one of the words that we like saying best
We love to knack our Sot and eat our Schmauntfatt
But yes for sure, that’s right, oba jo je’wess.
Verse 3
Too’m laeven are the words to use for living
And when I love you, that’s when eckj sie die goot
and another useful phrase is “wann ‘ol, dann aul”
If you’re gonna giv’er, you might as well go all out
Chorus
and Mennonites put the oba in Manitoba
‘Cause that’s one of the words that we like saying best
We love to crack our seeds and eat cream gravy
But yes for sure, that’s right, oba jo je’wess
But yes for sure, that’s right, oba jo je’wess.
Good’n Dach vonn Wikjla Manitooba Kanada!
