Chorus


Mountains, valleys, rivers, lakes
So much to see in the 50 states
But you don’t need a car, you don’t need a plane
To learn geography in the U.S.A.
(×2)



Verse I


If you lose yourself inside of a map
Trying to figure out where the U.S. is at
Just move your little finger to the left of the page
The western hemisphere is the home to the States
North America is the continent we’re in
Conveniently between a few of our friends:
Canada up north, Mexico below
Atlantic on the East, Pacific on the West Coast



Verse II


There are 50 states in the land of the free
And the national capitol is Washington D.C.
300 million people in the USA
It’s the 3rd most populated country today
50 states is a lot, and for that reason
We divide the country into these six regions:
New England, the Mid-Atlantic, the Midwest,
The South, the Southwest, and the wild, wild, West



Verse III


If you see a little blue on the map of the states
You might be looking at the 5 Great Lakes
Lake Superior is superior ‘cause of its size
Next in line is Lake Michigan right by its side
Then Lake Huron, Erie, and Ontario, too
They’re the largest fresh water lakes stuck in a group
But if you’re talking about bodies of water with salt
We got the Great Salt Lake in the state of Utah



Verse IV


Mississippi and Missouri are the longest rivers,
But don’t try swimming in ‘em; it’ll make you shiver
Unless you’re looking at a map that was made in 3-D
You might not notice the highest point: Mt. McKinley
Death Valley is the lowest elevation let me warn you
Making its home in the state of California
That’s about all that we got for this track
So if you missed anything, just rewind it back
