And Peter sent me an email with the Lyrics, including a new verse: Here are the lyrics to Up In Wisconsin, with four additional verses since it was recorded: UP IN WISCONSIN (Peter & Lou Berryman) If you're coming up from Boulder With your skis upon your shoulder They are stupid to be bringing Wisconsin's flatter than my singing If you're gonna spend your yule here Or you plan to stay a school year It's a lovely place you've chosen If you like your hinder frozen CHORUS Up in Wisconsin, up in Wisconsin The weather isn't very nice Up in Wisconsin, up in Wisconsin They gotta fish right thru the ice If you hate the taste of booze Better bring your runnin' shoes Better sneak around discreetly Or maybe stay away completely If you're moving to Wisconsin And your wife is on the wagon I feel it's only fair to warn her There's a bar on every corner. CHORUS You needn't be sophisticated In Wisconsin it's outdated With our beer and with our crackers We sit down and watch the Packers If you bring your suntan lotion To go romping in the ocean You'll have to swim at Howard Johnson There are no oceans in Wisconsin. CHORUS If you take the train to Neenah With your wife the ballerina And she wants to practice with you Wear your tutu on the choo choo If you are a Weyauwegan And your husband is a vegan Don't serve anything that's hairy And be wary of the dairy CHORUS If it's winter in Two Rivers 'nyou're so cold you have the shivers tho I doubt you're gonna wanna there's a sauna in Kaukauna If there comes the big election And if Walker's one selection (I) hope the country doesn't blame us For the famous ignoramous CHORUS
Joe Offer: melody is "La Cucaracha."
