1.  I told a joke in Idaho, they liked my joke and really let me know.

     ‘Cause in Idaho they go, “Ho, ho, ho,” and roll on the floor.

2.  So then I went to Tennessee. I told my joke, they greeted it with glee.

      ‘Cause in Tennessee they go, “Hee, hee, hee,”

     In Idaho they go, “ho, ho, ho,” and roll on the floor.

3.  Well, next I went to Arkansas. I told my joke and got a big guffaw.

     ‘Cause in Arkansas they go, “haw, haw, haw.”

     In Tennessee they go, “hee, hee, hee.”

     In Idaho they go, “ho, ho, ho,” and roll on the floor.

4.  I tried my luck in old Kentuck.

     I told my joke and they were thunderstruck

     ‘Cause in old Kentuck they go, “nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.”

     In Arkansas they go, “haw, haw, haw.”

     In Tennessee they go, “hee, hee, hee.”

     In Idaho they go, “ho, ho, ho,” and roll on the floor.

5.  My joke went big in Washington, where ho, ho, ho’s are hardly ever done.

     ‘Cause in Washington they go, “Oh what fun!”

     In old Kentuck they go, “nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.”

     In Arkansas they go, “haw, haw, haw.”

     In Tennessee they go, “hee, hee, hee.”

     In Idaho they go, “ho, ho, ho,” and roll on the floor.

6.  I went back home to Delaware. I told my joke and all they did was stare.

     It was very upsetting.

     ‘Cause in Washington they go, “Oh, what fun!”

     In old Kentuck they go, “nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.”

     In Arkansas they go, “haw, haw, haw.”

     In Tennessee they go, “hee, hee, hee.”
