Rhode Island Is Famous for You Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
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 grainOl' 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 youCotton 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 growGrand 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 youPencils come from Pennsylvania
Vests from Vest Virginia
Tents from Tentassee
They know mink where they grow mink in WyominkA 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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Blossom Dearie (1926-2009) was an American jazz singer and pianist. Born on 28th April 1926 in East Durham, New York, of mixed Scottish and Norwegian ancestry, Dearie began her career in vocal groups in New York. In the early 1950s she moved to Paris, forming her own vocal group, The Blue Stars, later to become the Swingle Singers. After signing to Verve, Dearie returned to the U.S. where, despite developing a successful career and achieving international fame, by 1974 the lack of interest from major labels led her to start her own label, Daffodil Records.
