Kentucky Means Paradise

(Ah, listen to that sound)

You take a 'K', a 'E'

Then you add an 'N' and 'T'

A 'U', and a 'C' 'K' 'Y'

And that spells Kentucky

But it means paradise

You take a chicken and you kill it and you put it in a skillet

And you fry it up a-golden brown

That's Southern cookin'

And that's mighty nice

It don't cover a lot

When you look on a map

But I wasn't studyin' no geography

When I was sittin' in my mammy's lap

You take a 'K' and a 'E', 'N' and a 'T'

'U' and a 'C' 'K' 'Y'

And that spells Kentucky

And it means paradise

Oh, it don't cover a lot

When you look on a map

But I wasn't studyin' no geography

When I was sittin' in my mammy's lap

You take a 'K' and a 'E', a 'N' and a 'T'

And a 'U' and a 'C' 'K' 'Y'

And that spells Kentucky

And it means paradise

I said Kentucky

And it means paradise
