I love Wisconsin's city names
Like Oshkosh and Racine
And Manitowoc and Waukesha
Though I don't know what they mean

Waukesha, Waukesha
Waukesha
Waukesha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Waukesha, Waukesha
I hope they have some cheese.
Sheboygan's east of Fon du Lac
Eau Claire is in the west
Milwaukee's fine and Superior
But Waukesha's the best.

Waukesha's a paradise
A delight in every way
And if I can ever find the time
I'll visit there someday.
