Rhode Island Is Famous For You Lyrics - Singles - Blossom Dearie

Copper comes from Arizona 

Peaches come from Georgia 

Lobsters come from Maine 

The wheat fields are the sweet fields of Nebraska 

And Kansas gets bonanzas from the grain 

Ol' whiskey comes from ol' Kentucky 

Ain't the country lucky? 

New Jersey gives us glue 

And you, you come from Rhode Island 

And little ol' Rhode Island is famous for you 

Cotton comes from Louisiana 

Gophers from Montana 

And spuds from Idaho 

They plow land in the cow land of Missouri 

Where most beef meant for roast beef seems to grow 

Grand canyons come from Colorado 

Gold comes from Nevada 

Divorces also do 

And you, you come from Rhode Island 

Little ol' Rhode Island is famous for you 

Pencils come from Pennsylvania 

Vests from Vest Virginia 

Tents from Tentassee 

They know mink where they grow mink in Wyomink 

A camp chair in New Hampchair, that's for me 

Minnows come from Minnowsota 

Coats come from Dakota but why should you be blue? 

For you, you come from Rhode Island 

Don't let them ride Rhode Island it's famous for you
