Notable for the inclusion of the song "Poor Little Rhode Island":

Poor Little Rhode Island,
The smallest of the forty-eight.
You've got no prairie moon
For which coyotes croon,
But I still think you're great.

You're such a teentsy weentsy
Poor Little Rhode Island.
Let all the Texans 'yip-i-ay,'
You're still the best part of
This land I dearly love,
And I'll include I-o-way.

They've written songs about the South,
They've written songs about the North,
And I've heard them say
There's nothing finer than Carolina in the morning,
But how about the nights in
Poor Little Rhode Island?

Be careful if you're fancy free
In Providence one day.
She stole my heart away;
I dream of her constantly.

Let the sun shine bright
On your Old Kentucky Home,
Rhode Island's the place for me.

Words by Sammy Cahn, music by Jule Styne
