Jimmy Dean - Kentucky Means Paradise lyrics

Now a lot of words have spelled the same with a different meanin' you see

But here's a brand new way to spell heaven and accordin' to me

You take a K and an E and an N and a T and U C K Y

That spells Kentucky but it means paradise

You take a chicken and you kill it

And you throw it in the skillet and you fry up a golden brown

That's southern cookin' taste mighty nice

It don't cover a lot when you look on a map

But I once studied geography when I sat in my mama's lap

You take K E N T U C K Y that spells Kentucky but it means paradise

[ harmonica - guitar ]

It don't cover a lot...

Yes that spells Kentucky but it means paradise
