Перевод песни

Песня: State Laughs
I told a joke in Idaho
They liked my joke and really let me know.
Cause in Idaho they go, "Ho ho ho!"
And roll on the floor.

So then I went to Tennessee.
I told my joke. They greeted it with glee.
But in Tennessee they go, "Hee hee hee!"
In Idaho they go, "Ho ho ho!"
And roll on the floor.

Well, next I went to Arkansas.
I told my joke and got a big guffaw.
In Arkansas they go, "Haw haw haw!"
In Tennessee they go, "Hee hee hee!"
In Idaho they go, "Ho ho ho!"
And roll on the floor.

I tried my luck in old Kentuck.
They heard my joke and they were thunderstruck!
But in old Kentuck they go, "Nyuk nyuk nyuk!"
In Arkansas they go, "Haw haw haw!"
In Tennessee they go, "Hee hee hee!"
In Idaho they go, "Ho ho ho!"
And roll on the floor.

My joke went big in Washington,
Where "Ho ho ho's" are hardly ever done.
In Washington they go, "Oh, what fun!"
In old Kentuck they go, "Nyuk nyuk nyuk!"
In Arkansas they go, "Haw haw haw!"
In Tennessee they go, "Hee hee hee!"
In Idaho, well, by now you know,
They roll on the floor.

I came back home to Delaware.
I told my joke and all they did was stare.
It was very upsetting...
Cause in Washington they go, "Oh, what fun!"
In old Kentuck they go, "Nyuk nyuk nyuk!"
In Arkansas they go, "Haw haw haw!"
In Tennessee they go, "Hee hee hee!"
In Idaho they go, "Ho ho ho!"
In all those places, they squiggle up their faces,
And roll on the floor.

Перевод песни:
Смех в разных штатах

Рассказал я шутку в Айдахо.
Им понравилась шутка, насколько я понял.
Ведь в Айдахо смеются «Хо-хо-хо!»
И катаются по полу.

Затем поехал я в Теннесси.
Рассказал свою шутку, её встретили с ликованием.
А в Теннесси смеются «Хи-хи-хи!»..... [открыть перевод]
