a novelty song.  some lyrics -

"if texas told what arkansas, then what did tennessee?  if you can answer that one you're a better man than me."
"if wyoming started roaming, would montana care?"

anyone know who sang it?

I vaguely recall a song by Perry Como called Waht did Delaware Do or something like that, maybe it had all that state stuff in it.

thanks for trying, but that's not the one!  anyone else??  :P

Try reaching Dr. Demento on line, he knows LOADS of those songs....I had a song once called 'Bimbo' and he knew all about it!

He should have an address on line.

Thanks!  I'll try that!  ;D

If Texas Told What Arkan-saw Then What Did Tennes-see

If Miss-issippi got New Jersey's, what would Dela-ware?
And if Wyomin' started roamin' would Montana care?
If Texas told what Arkan-saw then what did Tennes-see?
If you can answer that one, you're a better man than me.

Who knows the answer to this mystery?
If Texas told what Arkan-saw then what did Tennes-see?

If Okla- ain't a Homa, tell me where has Ore-gon
If Minne-sote a dress then would Virginia put it on?
If Carolina went to China, where would Georgia stay?
If Washing- is a Ton, just how much does Ioway?

Who knows the answer to this mystery?
If Texas told what Arkan-saw then what did Tennes-see?

If there were no potatoes, tell me what would Ida-ho?
If Kansas loaned New York a dollar, who would O-hi-o?
If Utah bothered Alabam, then who would Illinois?
Has South Dakota ever wrote an island in Hawaii?

Who knows the answer to this mystery?
If Texas told what Arkan-saw then what did Tennes-see?

If Florida would plant the seed, would Conneta-cut the grass?
Would Mary-land a fellar, if she went to Boston, Mass?
And how could Massa Chew-it with a broken upper plate?
Do you give up or would you like to try for 48?

Who knows the answer to this mystery?
If Texas told what Arkan-saw then what did Tennes-see
