lyrics

Copper comes from Arizona
and peaches come from Georgia
Lobsters come from Maine.

The wheat fields are the sweet fields of Nebraska
And Kansas gets bonanzas from the grain

Old whiskey comes from old Kentucky
And ain't the country lucky?
New Jersey gives us... glue

And you, well you come from Rhode Island
And little old Rhode Island
Is famous for you

Cotton comes from Louisiana
And gophers from Montana
Spuds from Idaho

They plow land in the cow land of Missour-a,
where most beef meant for roast beef seems to grow

Grand canyons come from Colorad-a
Gold comes from Nevada
Divorces also do

And you, you come from Rhode Island
And little old Rhode Island
Is famous for you

Pencils, they come from Pennsylvania
and vests from Vest Virginia
tents from Tent-a-see

They know mink where they grow mink in Wyo-mink
and a camp chair in New Hamp-chair, that's for me

And minnows come Minnesota
Coats come from Dakota
But why should I be blue?

For you, you come from Rhode Island
Don't let them knock Rhode Island,
it's famous for you
