Minnesota, Minnesota,
we are south of Manitoba
We are east of North Dakota,
we got something really rare
It's fulfilling, entertaining,
it's true culture you'll gaining
Except no imitations, it's the fair
Saw a friend from Wisconsin
and he said, Yeah, hey,
you gotta see the crop art,
it'll blow you away.
Yeah, sure you bet, boy,
they don't know when to quit.
I'm going to see the butter heads
you want to come with.
Minnesota, Minnesota,
we are south of Manitoba.
We are east of North Dakota,
we got something really rare.
It's fulfilling, entertaining,
it's true culture you'll be gaining.
Except no imitations, it's the fair.
At the fair there's no lack of food,
you simply take your pick.
You can find almost anything
sittin' on a stick.
Fronto Pops, mini donuts,
and an ice cold beer.
I gotta get my cheese curds,
I've been waiting all year.
Minnesota, Minnesota,
we are south of Manitoba.
We are east of North Dakota,
we got something really rare.
It's fulfilling, entertaining,
it's true culture, you'll be game
Except no imitations, it's the fair
After all the food I've eaten now,
I only have a hunch
I'll go out on the midway
and I'll probably lose my lunch
The tilt -a -whirl is one thing,
but I just cannot conceal
My heart'll stop right at the top
of the double Ferris wheel
Minnesota, Minnesota,
we are south of Manitoba
We are east of North Dakota,
we got something really rare
It's fulfilling, entertaining,
it's true culture you'll be gaining
Except no imitations, it's the fair
Oh, you gotta see Piggy Mama
The biggest sow that you have ever seen
It's a giglet for a piglet
And in the swine barn,
Piggy Mama is the queen
Now the combines are waiting
on Machinery Hill
Kids are climbing on the tractors,
on their tires and on their grills
You may live inside a townhouse
in the suburbs, make your home
If you've always wanted a tractor,
you could call your very own
Minnesota, Minnesota,
we are south of Manitoba
We are east of North Dakota,
we've got something really rare
It's fulfilling, entertaining,
it's true culture you'll be gaining
Except no imitations, it's the fair
Now I need some relaxation
or a soundproof room
A place to soak my achin' feet
that's quiet as a tomb
All that's left inside my pocket
is some lint and half a pack of Tums
But next year, you can bet,
I'll be comin' back
Minnesota, Minnesota,
we are south of Manitoba
We are east of North Dakota,
we got something really rare
It's fulfilling, entertaining,
it's true culture you'll be gaining
There's deals and demonstrations,
chicks and incubation
The whole population's at the fair.
