Lyrics:
Midwestern states I know by heart
Let’s take a look at where to start
Ohio looks like a rhombus
And its capital is Columbus
Michigan looks like a mitten
Makes your hands soft as a kitten
And when the knights are advancing
It’ll protect your hand as you’re Lancing
Indiana is a fun state name to sing
Indiana, Indiana yes it rings
But its capital is even more euphonious
Indianapolis sounds really quite harmonious
The sounds of spring are a joyful noise
Hear the bluebirds and cardinals play
For all this and more, come to Springfield, Illinois!
It’s a bright and shining day
Awesome Wisconsin known for its ice cream
I wish I lived in Wisconsin
I do not, which makes me mad
So I think I’ll visit Madison
Look at that we’re almost through
Just West North Central left to do
The next state’s like a blank sheet of canvas
A place to find what you are seeking
Travel through the great plains of Kansas
The moon and stars to you are speaking
Eureka-- Topeka!
Missouri is the third state south
And the third state from the east
The third president was Jefferson
So think of Jefferson City
For five dollars I will ask ya
When I’m in Lincoln, Nebraska
I’ll buy some heavenly sodas
In St. Paul, Minnesota
On an ear of corn I’ll spend my coin
In Iowa, close by Des Moines
I’ll watch the bison maunder north
In Bismarck, North Dakota
Vacation in the south of France
With Pierre from South Dakota
Thanks Midwest, you’ve been a blast
We know your capitals at last
