Iowa, you make me smile
Iowa, green mile after mile
and I want to go to Iowa today

Iowa, it's very flat
Iowa, it's where it's at
and I want to go to Iowa today

Iowa, it's got de Moines
Iowa, it's where I found my lucky coin
and I want to go to Iowa
because I found spare change in Iowa today

Iowa, it's got lots of corn
Iowa, it's where she was born
and I want to go to Iowa
because the girl I love's in Iowa today

Iowa, the airport is small
Iowa, I've seen bigger malls
and I want to go to Iowa
because the airport is friendly in Iowa today

Iowa, there's been sightings there
Iowa, flyin' saucers in the air
and I want to go to Iowa
because they have neat crop circles in Iowa today

Iowa, they have nice cows
Iowa, it's name has three vowels
and I want to go to Iowa
because there's only one consonant in the name of Iowa today

Iowa, the state bird is the finch
Iowans, when you hit them they don't flinch
and I want to go to Iowa
because you can hit 'em hard in Iowa today

Iowa, they have lots of farms
Iowa, the people have arms (firearms, that is)
and I want to go to Iowa
because they respect second ammendment rights in Iowa today

Iowa, I-I-o-wa
Iowa, I-I-o-wa

Iowa, huh, Iowa, huh, Iowa, huh, Iowa, huh
Iowa, huh, Iowa, huh, Iowa, huh, Iowa, huh
huh huh huh huh

Iowa, it's fading fast
Iowa, don't think it will last
and I want to go to Iowa
because there might be no more Iowa after today

(you see, Iowa has the fastest shrinking population of any state in the U.S)
