"Kentucky Means Paradise" lyrics

"Kentucky Means Paradise"

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 fine

It don't cover a lot when you look on a map
But I once studied no 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

It don't cover a lot when you look on a map
But I once studied no 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
Yes, that spells Kentucky, but it means paradise
