Thread Name: Song with all 50 states mentioned
Subject: RE: Song with all 50 states mentioned
Hi, everyone
I remember this song from way, way back, sung by Perry Como. Don't any of you spellcheck your emails?! How I wish that some of the respondents could spell their own States - which I find very worrying!
The version I remember - and the tune - did not include the line "I ask you now as a personl friend."
I think that the first verse went:
Oh, what did Delaware?
What did Delaware?
what did Delaware, boys?
What did Delaware?
She wore a brand New Jersey,
She wore a brand New Jersey,
She wore a brand New Jersey,
That's what she did wear.
I'm concerned that our US friends don't seem to know their own States, or the spellings. I bet they don't know the counties of England ... (It's OK, neither do I!)
This litany has been on my mind recently. It would be good to get a definitive version of all 50 States (actually, I thought there were 52 - would be grateful for confirmation).
Regards - Bridget Cassé
