Here's a song called THE 50 STATES THAT RHYME. It can help you remember all the states in alphabetical order. It is sung to the tune of TURKEY IN THE STRAW and the lyrics are below:
While in school I studied, US geography. The teacher asked "Will you stand up, and list the states for me?" My knees began a knockin'. My words fell out all wrong; then suddenly, I stood up and I sang this little song.
Alabama and Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, and Connecticut and more.
Delaware, Florida, Georgia and Hawaii, Idaho.
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, still 35 to go.
Kansas and Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine. Maryland, Massachusetts, and good ole Michigan.
Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, and Montana, Nebraska's 27, number 28's Nevada. Ooooh-oooooh...
Next, New Hampshire and New Jersey, and way down, New Mexico.
Then New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, O - Hi - O.
Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, now let's see.
Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee.
Texas, then there's Utah.
Vermont, I'm almost through.
Virginia, then there's Washington and West Virginia, too.
Could Wisconsin be the last one in the 49.
No, Wyoming is the last state in the 50 states that rhyme. Ooooh-oooooh...
When I stood up, all outta breath, the teacher said, "That's great. I am impressed. You were the best at listing all the states. But if you wantta get an A for that silly little rhyme, stand right up, and sing that song, but do it double time.
(now sing twice as fast)
Alabama and Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, and Connecticut and more.
Delaware, Florida, Georgia and Hawaii, Idaho.
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, still 35 to go.
Kansas and Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine. Maryland, Massachusetts, and good ole Michigan.
Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, and Montana, Nebraska's 27, number 28's Nevada. Ooooh-oooooh...
