Oxnard Songtext
von Ray Jessel

If there′s a great song about a town
Then my kind of town
Chicago is, is that song

Name me a great song about a town
A town called New York
Say New York, New York
I'll go along
But there′s one great town the songwriters ignore
And it's starting to make this one songwriter sore
So I set out to write this song
Yes, I set out to right this wrong
I mean I set out to write this right
'Cause this song is needed tonight

You ask me why
And I reply


We′re steppin′ out tonight in Oxnard
The town they named after the nard of an ox
To get that nard they push that ox hard
But when it nards, the whole town rocks
We're steppin′ out tonight in Oxnard
No more those far from Oxnard blues

But there's one thing to warn you about
Before we start steppin′ out
Once you step in Oxnard
You can't get it off of your shoes

Everybody
We′re steppin' out tonight in Ox-
The town they named, the town they named
After the nard of an ox
To get that nard, to get that nard
They push that ox hard
But when it nards, but when it nards
The whole town rocks
We're steppin′ out again
We′re steppin' out tonight in Oxnard


No more those blues
No more those far from Oxnard blues
But there′s one thing to warn you about
Before we start steppin' out
Once you step in Oxnard
You can′t get it off of your shoes

You can't claw it off
You can′t saw it off
I could not get my Schnauzer to gnaw it off
Once you step in Oxnard
It's time to buy new shoes

Thank you very much
