Oh, it's old Arizona again, It's old Arizona again; It's a place where we all have been. We have all been there before, And we're going back once more, Back to old Arizona again.
Oh, it's old Arizona again, It's old Arizona again; With its greasers and bad, bad men. They dom't know the Boston dip But they shoot you from the hip Down in old Arizona again.
Oh, it's old Arizona again, It's old Arizona again; It's a place where we all have been. With its scenery and fresh air, They will be your bill of fare, Down in old Arizona again.
Oh, it's old Arizona again, It's old Arizona again; It's a place where we all have been. With the bears and rocky ground, And the rattlers running round, Round in old Arizona again.
Oh, it's old Arizona again, It's old Arizona again; It's a place where we all have been. And if you get away, They will bring you back to stay, Down in old Arizona again.
