That was my idea for a Hawaii song too, but I wasn't very sure of the lyrics.

I knew that song before I knew you. Also you stole my song for tomorrow so we're even.

I was going to do the Kentucky Fried Chicken song from girl's camp! Oh well, this will have to do:
". . . some place in Mexico, Delaware, Ohio, you don't need a text to go Wheeling, West Virginia! With everything's that in ya! Down the line you'll see the shine from Oregon to Caroline, oh eeny meeny miney"
-Go Go Pogo
I know the 8 words around "Oregon" are right, at least.

So are you claiming Oregon? Or Delaware or Ohio?

I know the tune to the UMaine fight song, and I must have cataloged a half dozen copies of the sheet music, but can I remember the words? Of course not.

Check.

Darn! I'm out. I looked this up to find the song title, and I'm wrong. The impeachment vote gets interrupted before the vice president gets to the senators from Nebraska and Alaska. I should have used the senatorial roll call part instead (or the senators from Minnesota and North Dakota).

Don't we now have a rule against self-incrimination? I think you're OK.

"Away, I'm bound away 'cross the wide Missouri"
"Shenandoah"
Thank heaven. I could not remember any of the songs I previously thought of. (Mostly, of course, because every time I think I've got one the state has magically disappeared since last time I checked.)
Fun fact! (Yes, I edited my post for a boring fun fact.) When I was a freshman, the JFSB was new. We made up a song with the tune of Shenandoah. I almost typed "across the wide Brigham Square" instead of Missouri. Which would've been silly, and would not have been a state name.
