Original Song ("Dear OG&E")

Much of Oklahoma was left without electricity for a couple of weeks this month because of a monster ice storm. This tune is merely a humorous love letter to our central Oklahoma electricity provider.

Dear OG&E
copy. 2007 William R. Welton

Verse 1:
Dear OG&E
Did you forget about me?
No electricity
means no cable TV

Pre-hook:
I been spendin' my nights livin' like an eskimo
I been spendin' my days lookin' like a hobo

Verse 2:
Dear OG&E
Everyone on my street
Has electricity
Everybody but me

Chorus:
I'd a pay at least a thousand bucks
To see just one of those little orange trucks
I would thank the lineman to his face
There ain't nothin' wrong with my meter base

Verse 3:
Dear OG&E
I called your people toll-free
they're as nice as can be
to everyone but me

Pre-hook:
I been spendin' my nights livin' like an eskimo
I been spendin' my days lookin' like a hobo

Verse 4:
Dear OG&E
Would it help if I plead?
I'll get down on my knees
Tell me, what do I need?

Chorus

Dear OG&E
Thanks for fixin' me
I'm the last on my street
To get electricity
