Pennsylvania snow is pretty thick
Michigan ain't where I get my kicks
Texas is fine but it gets too hot
And New York City's not a place to stop

New Orleans is the home of the blues
But California's my home with Mary Hughes

Down in Mississippi I'm told is nice
And all the meals there, they come with rice
Oregon and Iowa are not for me
The Colorado mountains are something you must see

But back in California there's nothing to lose
'Cause everything's swinging there with Mary Hughes
