Abe Lincoln

Abe Lincoln's from Kentucky
they took his memory to Illinois
they have a Springfield in Kentucky
Abe Lincoln lived there as a boy

but the only thing he did down in Springfield
(I mean the one in Illinois)
was be a lawyer and politician
never honestly employed

I used to think that the term "windy city"
referred to climate, not to talk
you'd think to live down there would be polar
how each October they start to squalk

Well those who've lived there can tell you
it gets down to forty, and the tears will flow
it gets much colder in Minnesota
out on the prairie where the cold winds blow

I would say to all you Illinoisers
you aughta get out more, and see the world
and I don't mean Lake Geneva
or Tommy Bartlett, whom you have spoiled

We in Wisconsin, we're not your state park
and we don't need you and your attitude
so take your whining back down to Chicagoe
and stop your gawking, this ain't a zoo
