Paducah, Paducah, if you wanna
You can rhyme it with bazooka
But you can't pooh-pooh Paducah
That's another name for paradise

Paducah, Paducah, just a pretty little city in Kentucky

But I'm delighted over julep time
Because I happen to love a resident of
Paducah, Paducah, if you wanna
You can rhyme it with bazooka
But you can't pooh-pooh Paducah
That's another name for paradise
