Howlin' Like The Wolf

We're goin' out to Idaho where the potatoes grow
honey we're leavin' quite soon
but if you call it quits then I've had my chips
and like the wolf I'll be a-howlin' at the moon
I'm over this Sunshine State yeah I can hardly wait

Sunshine state, oh so bright,
Florida, what a delight!
Skip, skip, all the way,
Happy times are here to stay!

Orange groves, a citrus dream,
Sparkling waters, a sunlit gleam.
Skip, skip, to the shore,
Ocean breezes we adore!

Sandy beaches, white and fine,
Palm trees swaying, so divine.

Our Sunshine State

Rainforest, sparkling white sand
And friendly country towns
Man eating crocodiles
Outback and Darling Downs
The awe inspiring Barrier Reef
And tropic Moonlight nights
Bushland animals and solitude
The heat the earth ignites
Rich brown earth and floodlit plain
Earth’s bounty here we sow
Sugar cane, Wattle and Blue gums
Paradise untamed aglow

Living In the Sunshine State

Living in the Sunshine State

By Elton Camp

The climate is mild most of the year
Earthquakes, residents need not fear

The hot sun is warmly on your neck
Get skin cancer?  Oh, what the heck.

Susan’s house is right on the canal
Where skeeters buzz & reptiles prowl

Her yard is a mixture of grass & sand
But she thinks Florida is
