[bc]
I know a spot, peaceful and fair,
I'd be so happy if we were there!
No matter where I chance to be,
Connecticut is the place for me!

[jg]
Miss every lake, miss every hill,
Even in dreams I think of them still!
And when you see them you'll agree
Connecticut is the place to be!

[bc]
Village green and childhood scenes
Are things that I remember yet;
[jg]
Land of dreams and moonlit streams,
How close to heaven can you get?

[bc]
Nights full of stars, hearts full o' joy,
[jg]
Paradise for a girl and boy!
[bc]
I guess it suits me to a tee,
Connecticut is the place for me to be!
[both]
Connecticut is the place for me!

[bc]
It's such a great state
For a late date,
With a maid waitin' just for you!
[jg]
And every Yale guy
Is a male guy
Through and through!
[bc]
It's an outstanding state!

[jg]
Its' never hum-drum
Datin' some chum,
With his thumb strummin' a guitar.
[bc]
You'll find the chicks slicker
And they mix quicker by far!
[jg]
It's such a great state!

[bc]
It's spick and spanner
Than old Montana,
And Indiana can't rate!
[jg]
The nights are longer
[bc]
And the men are stronger
[jg]
So linger longer and wait,
[both]
'Cause it's a great great great great state!

[jg]
Dined in Capri, thought it was swell,
Sampled some wine in a Naples hotel;
Though I was showed the road to Rome,
Connecticut still will be my home!

[bc]
Italy was fun to see,
And really gave me quite a boom!
Had a spree in gay Paree,
Those mademoiselles where mighty cute, tres zoom!

[both]
Circled the globe, dozens of times,
Seen all its wonders, known all its climes;
[bc]
I've searched it with a fine tooth comb,
[both]
And found that I only have one home sweet home,
Connecticut always will be my home sweet home.
