Delaware (Perry Como)
"What did Del-a-ware boy, what did Delaware
She wore a brand New Jersey,
That's what she did wear
Why did Cali-fon
why did Cali-fon-ia
Was she all alone
She called to say Ha-wa-ya
That's why she did call
What did Missi sip boy
What did Missi sip
Through her pretty lips
She sipped a Minne sota
That's what she did sip"
etc…
