This summer in Australia I impressed all of the kids at school by singing the States song. It goes a little somethin' like this: "Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana..." You get the idea.
Texas, our Texas All Hail the Mighty State...THE STATE SONG! Doesn't every state have one!
The Music Man's "Gary, Indiana, Gary Indiana, Gary, Indiana."
I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette, state of Louisana--Paul Simon
And of course, the Animaniacs had a great song of all the states & their capitals. "Baton Rouge, Louisana, Indianapolis, Indiana and Columbus is the capital of Ohio. There's Montgomory, Alabama, south of Helena Montana, or you could make your home Boise, Idaho" And there is so much more to that song alone!
