Anyone know the "State" song? Lyrics go something like: "What did Della wear? She wore a brand new jersey (Delaware and New Jersey) What did Ida hoe? I don't know I'll ask her (Idaho and Alaska)" Get it?

She phoned to say Hawaii-ya, wh phoned to say Hawaii-ya, she phoned to say Hawaii-ya, that's why she did phone./What did Missus sip, boy, what did Missus sip? ... She sipped a Minnes-soda ... That's what she did sip.

I was not aware there was a song like that, but remember learning a sort of lymiric like you described. It went: Ohio! Hawaii? If Mississippi gave Missouri her New Jersey, what would Delaware? Idaho, Alaska.
