A Way With Words

[Squeaky McMurdo]

Try typing in the song "What Did Delaware?" and lyrics

My favorite verse is

"What did Iowa (I-uh-weigh), boy? What did Iowa? What did Iowa, boy? What did Iowa? What did Iowa, boy? What did Iowa? I'm asking you now as a personal friend, What did Iowa?

She weighed a Washing-ton, boy. She weighed a Washington. She weighed a Washington, boy. She weighed a Washington. She weighed a Washington, boy. She weighed a Washington. I'm telling you now as a personal friend, She weighed a Washington."

(I know this song courtesy of a childhood cassette tape titled We Sing Silly Songs. Tehe)


I made up a couple verses when I was a kid...lol. The one I still remember is:

What did Tennessee, boy?....He saw Mississippi (Me Sissy pee)

[Carolina Kiltman]

I once heard a quite long one using US states [which of course is not coming up in a quick Google for me] along the lines of:
...Did Delaware her New Jersey?....

I bet some of our young tech savvy, or old willy insomniac, members will find it for me/ us before mornng ith:

It was the words to a song out of the 30's or 50's (?) What did Idaho, she hoed her Maryland, and so on ad nauseaum

[piperdbh]

Or...
What will Delaware to the Baltimore (ball tomorrow)?
Her New Jersey.


Och, musha.

You mean there's a punishment worse than these jokes?

[Southern Breeze]

You mean there's a punishment worse than these jokes?

Yep. It's called wearing pants.
