Pennsylvania snow is pretty thick

Michigan ain't where I get my kicks

Texas is fine but it gets too hot

And new york city's not a place to stop

New orleans is the home of the blues

But california's my home with mary hughes

Down in mississippi I'm told is nice

And all the meals there they come with rice

Oregon and iowa are not for me

The colorado mountains are something you must see

But back in california there's nothing to lose

'cos everything's swinging there with mary hughes
