A lot of words have spelled the same

With a different meanin' you see

Well 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 U and 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' and it's mighty nice

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

But I once studied geography

When I sat on my mami's lap

You take a K and an E and an N

And a T U and C K Y

That spells Kentucky

But it means paradise

You take a K an E an N

And a T U and C K Y

That spells Kentucky

But it means paradise

You take a chicken and you kill it

And you put it in the skillet

Fry them up

That's Kentucky and it's mighty nice

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

But I wouldn't studied no geography

When I sat on my mami's lap

Take a K an E an N

T U and C K Y

That's Kentucky

And it means paradise

That spells Kentucky but it means paradise
