Thread Name: Lyr Req: If Texas Told What Arkansas?
Subject: RE: IF TEXAS TOLD WHAT ARKANSAS?
Sounds similar to lyrics that I've been trying to remember, but not quite the same. I think it was the late 50's or early 60's when I first (& last) heard this song.

Somewhere in the song is "What did Delaware, boys, what did Delaware? I think that was the first line of the song.

Other partial lines I remember: I went to pay my Taxes (not Texas)

What did Tennessee, boys, what did Tennessee? The same as Arkansas.

I don't know, Alaska (I'll ask her) - maybe this was the line after Delaware?

I called to say Hawaii.
