There’s a land up north
where ten thousand lakes have grown
And the people talk with Norwegian
accents don’t ya know
And the favorite sport fish of course
is the walleyed pike
but we just call ‘em walleyes
as you may if you like
Minnesota’s home
Minnesota’s home
Minnesota’s where
My heart no longer roams
Minnesota’s home
Minnesota’s home
Minnesota’s home to me oh yes indeed
Minnesota’s home to me
Lady’s and gentlemen Mr. Butch Thompson
(Interlude)
Lady’s and gentlemen Mr. Bob Dylan
We are the world
We are the children… oh wrong song
Let me see some lyrics there
And it’s true we’re really nice
and friendly so they say
but we wouldn’t brag too much in our self effacing way
And we still believe that honesty is the best policy
but it still helps to buy insurance
Chorus
