50state song--'what did Dela ware, boys'

Hello, I'm searching for the words to the 50 state song. Most commonly it appears to begin "What did Dela ware, boys? Repeat 2x She wore a brand New Jersey, repeat 2x

I've seen it as the What did Dela ware song, Silly State Song, and the 50 State song.

I have 23 states and perhaps more if the question/answer format in the song is altered.

I learned this in school, and Hawii and Alaska were already states. Thanks for your help. Dawn Werner

Hi, Dawn - This is a hard song to find because various versions of the song spell "Delaware" various ways. You'll find a few versions in this thread (click). In that thread, Dick Greenhaus promised that the song would appear in the April 1998 edition of the Digital Tradition.
Promises, promises...
