Rhode Island Is Famous For You Lyrics & Chords By Blossom Dearie

Copper comes from Arizona

Peaches come from Georgia

And lobsters come from Maine

The wheat fields are the sweet fields of Nebraska

And Kansas gets bonanzas from the grain



Old whiskey comes from old Kentucky

Ain't the country lucky

New Jersey gives us glue

And you, you come from Rhode Island

and little old Rhode Island is famous for you



Cotton comes from Lou-siana

Gophers from Montana

And spuds from Idaho

They plow land in the cow land of Missour-a

Where most beef meant for roast beef seems to grow



Grand canyons come from Colorad-a

Gold comes from Nevada

Divorces also do

And you, you come from Rhode Island

Little old Rhode Island is famous for you



Pencils come from Pennsylvania

Vest from Vest Virginia

and Tents from Tent-esee

They know mink where they grow mink in Wyo-mink

A camp chair in New Hamp-chair, that's for me



And minnows come Minnesota

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
