Oh, I wish to move from the Land of Lincoln
Good jobs here are lost or sinkin'
So annoyed, unemployed, Illinois: Lincoln Land

In Lincoln Land, where politicians
Do hard time for crimes in prison
Put away, there to stay, till they're gray: Lincoln Land

I wish I didn't live here. No way, Jose!
In Lincoln Land, the baseball fans
Have little cause for cheerin'
Each day the plays dismay to sounds of jeerin'


Oh, my list goes on 'bout the Land of Lincoln
Big swine farms are gross and stinkin'
What they weigh would amaze, all are caged: Lincoln Land

Oh, Lincoln Land, an endless corn field
Cross bred seed to foster more yield
Frankencorn, now is scorned, be forewarned: Lincoln Land

I hitched a ride to live here, Sad day! I'd say!
In Lincoln Land, I blew my plans
To live a life so cheery
Each day I stay, my way becomes more dreary


Oh, the fish that swim in the lakes and rivers
Asian carp that give you shivers
They can fly, very high, hit your eye: Lincoln Land

In Lincoln Land, with little warning
Winds get rough, tornadoes storming
Chevrolets blow away, homes are razed, Lincolns land

I risk my life to live here. Each day I stay!
In Lincoln Land, the summer's bland
The winter's cold and bleary
Each day I pray a savior's there to hear me
