Lyrics

I told a joke in Idaho
They liked my joke and really let me know
’Cause in Idaho, they go, “Ho ho ho!”
And ro-ho-ho-ho-holl on the floor
So then I went to Tennessee
I told my joke and they greeted it with glee
But in Tennessee, they go, “Hee hee hee!”
In Idaho, they go, “Ho ho ho!”
And ro-ho-ho-ho-holl on the floor
Well, next I went to Arkansas
I told my joke and got a big guffaw
In Arkansas, they go, “Haw haw haw!”
In Tennessee, they go, “Hee hee hee!”
In Idaho, they go, “Ho ho ho!”
And ro-ho-ho-ho-holl on the floor
I tried my luck in old Kentuck
They heard my joke and they were thunderstruck!
But 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 ro-ho-ho-ho-holl on the floor
My joke went big in Washington
Where “Ho ho ho’s” are hardly ever done
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, well, by now you know
They ro-ho-ho-ho-holl on the floor
I came 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!”
In Idaho, they go, “Ho ho ho!”
In all those places, they squinch all up their bases
And ro-ho-ho-ho-ho-holl on the floor
