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...
