Take me to Sandy Hook,
Bring along your pocket book,
All the kids know how to cook,
That's why I want to go there.

Chorus:
Take me away from here,
Take me some place new.
There are jolly people there,
I want to go there too.

Take me to Saginaw,
Bring along your maw and paw,
They eat cabbage cooked and raw,
That's why I want to go there.

(Chorus)

Take me to Martinsville,
Bring along a dollar bill,
All the rivers run down the hill,
That's why I want to go there.

(Chorus)

Take me to Stoney Ford,
Bring along a cutting board,
All the ropes are made of cord,
That's why I want to go there.

(Chorus)

Take me to Hackensack,
Bring along a carpet tack,
It's not far to there and back,
That's why I want to go there.

(Chorus)

Take me to Old New York,
Bring along a knife and fork,
All the people love to talk,
That's why I want to go there.

(Chorus)

Take me to Battle Creek,
Bring along your walking stick,
Milk is thin and cream is thick,
That's why I want to go there.

(Chorus)

Take me to Puget Sound,
They sell giggles by the pound,
Everyone goes round and round.
That's why I want to go there.

(Chorus)
