A camp chair in New Hampchair, that's for me
New Jersey gives us glue
And you, you come from Rhode Island
Lobsters come from Maine
And you, you come from Rhode Island
Ol' whiskey comes from ol' Kentucky
Vests from Vest Virginia
Little ol' Rhode Island is famous for you
The wheat fields are the sweet fields of Nebraska
Where most beef meant for roast beef seems to grow
They plow land in the cow land of Missouri
Ain't the country lucky?
And Kansas gets bonanzas from the grain
Tents from Tentassee
Cotton comes from Louisiana
Divorces also do
Grand canyons come from Colorado
For you, you come from Rhode Island
Minnows come from Minnowsota
And spuds from Idaho
They know mink where they grow mink in Wyomink
Gophers from Montana
Gold comes from Nevada
Pencils come from Pennsylvania
Coats come from Dakota but why should you be blue?
And little ol' Rhode Island is famous for you
