Lyrics

Well it's Waleetka Oklahoma
1973
And Debbie Picket and her boyfriend
Just got hauled in by the police
For dancing in a cornfield
Behind the Highschool gym
That's illegal in Waleetka
Don't let me ever catch you again

And it's an hour
on into Tulsa
There's a prom dress in a shop
Debbie saw it in the window
And showed it to her mom
Ain't it pretty
And her mom said
Girl don't you start
That's illegal in Waleetka
Don't it just break your heart

Chorus
Oh but tonite in Waleetka
There's one hundred stars
Spray painted silver
and one hundred yards
Of pretty white Christmas lights
above the basketball court
It's prom night in Waleetka
don't it just break your heart

And tonit in Waleetka
there's one hundred stars
and all the kids toook dance lessons
and polished up their cars
Debbie Picket stands in her living room watching
her daughter twirl around
And when her date picks her up
The porch light catches
the sparkles on her gown

chorus
