Oh, there`s nothing halfway,
About the Iowa way to treat you,
When we treat you,
Which we may not do at all!
There`s an Iowa kind,
A kind-a chip-on-the-shoulder attitude,
We`ve never been without that we recall!
We can be cold as the falling
Thermometer in December if you ask about our weather in July.
And we`re so by-gone stubborn, we can
Stand touching noses for a week at a time,
And never see eye-to-eye.
But what the heck!
You`re welcome,
join us at the picnic.
You can have your fill of all the food you bring yourself.
You really ought to give Iowa a try,
Provided you are contrary.

Stand touching noses for a week at a time,
And never see eye-to-eye.
But we`ll give you our shirt,
And a back to go with it,
If your crop should happen to die.
So what the heck!
You`re welcome!
Glad to have you with us!
Even though we may not ever mention it again!
You really ought to give Iowa,
Hawk-eye, Iowa,
Dubuque, Des Moines, Davenport, Marshaltown, Mason City, Ke-o-kuk, Ames,
Clearlake!
