Proud to be from Wisconsin!
The United States is the land of my birth
The strongest and wealthiest country on earth.
But the states aren't all equal, I'm sorry to say...
Wisconsin's the pick of the 50 today.
I like Virginia, Montana and Maine.
But it's here in Wisconsin I proudly remain.
With walleyes and fish fries and hot apple pie
And the Badgerland motto:
"Eat Cheese or Die!"
We've got forests and prairies,
Breweries and dairies
Skiing on water and skiing on snow
From Big Bend to Bayfield,
Potosi to Plainfield
The lucky ones live in Wisconsin.
Arizona's too dry,
Colorado's too high
In Alaska you'll freeze
and in Georgia you'll fry.
Hawaii's so distant
it's barely existent,
California is crumbling;
let's all wave good-bye.
Nevada's too empty,
the deserts don't tempt me
In Kansas a forest is just one lonesome tree.
New York is an anthill,
a flesh-and-blood landfill,
And too many lawyers run loose in DC.
We've got silos and steeples,
And down-to-earth people.
Holsteins aplenty and Guernseys galore.
From Lone Rock to Lena,
New Glarus to Neenah,
The lucky ones live in Wisconsin.
Minnesota and Michigan,
they're both our special friends.
We get along fine with the people next door.
Illinois on the other hand, I couldn't recommend.
It's flat as a pancake and spoiled to the core.
The Flatlanders visit us year after year.
Clogging the highways and killing our deer.
They root for the White Sox,
they frighten our livestock.
We hide all the children whenever they're here.
We've got sweet corn and bratwurst
Chicago's a lot worse
Our cheddar is better,
our butter's the best.
From Monroe to Milwaukee,
Waupun to Wausaukee,
The lucky ones live in Wisconsin.
In Wisconsin there's no slackers,
Oh, and we've got the Packers.
Yes, from Kewaskum to Algoma,
Two Rivers to Tomah,
The lucky ones live in Wisconsin!
