Fifty Nifty Unites States

By Ray Charles


Fifty nifty United States from thirteen original colonies,
Fifty nifty stars in the flag that billow so beautifully in the breeze.
Each individual state contributes a quality that is great.
Each individual state deserves a bow; We salute them now!

Fifty nifty United States from thirteen original colonies,
Shout'em, scout'em, Tell all about'em
One by one, ‘til we've given a day to ev'ry state in the USA.,
In the USA...

Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut,
Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana.

Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada.

New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico,
New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio!

Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas.

Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming.
North, South, East, West...
In our calm, objective, opinion, (Name your state) is the best...of the

Chorus

Fifty nifty United States from thirteen original colonies,
Add up to USA!
