Wakko's America
Wakko's America
"Wakko's America" is a skit from the WB animated series Animaniacs. The three Animaniacs are on a Jeopardy-like game show. The answer to a question posed to Wakko is "The 50 states and their capitals."1 Wakko's song includes all 50 states and their capitals. He loses the game because his response is not in the form of a question.

Lyrics
- Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Indianapolis, Indiana
- And Columbus is the capital of Ohio
- There's Montgomery, Alabama, south of Helena, Montana
- Then there's Denver, Colorado, under Boise, Idaho.
- Texas has Austin, then we go north,
- To Massachusetts' Boston, and Albany, New York
- Tallahassee, Florida, and Washington, D.C.
- Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Nashville, Tennessee.
- Elvis used to hang out there a lot, ya know.
- Trenton's in New Jersey, north of Jefferson, Missouri
- You've got Richmond in Virginia; South Dakota has Pierre
- Harrisburg's in Pennsylvania and Augusta's up in Maine
- And here is Providence, Rhode Island, next to Dover, Delaware.
- Concord, New Hampshire, just a quick jaunt
- To Montpelier, which is up in Vermont
- Hartford's in Connecticut, so pretty in the fall
- And Kansas has Topeka; Minnesota has St Paul.
- Juneau's in Alaska and there's Lincoln in Nebraska
- And it's Raleigh out in North Carolina and then
- There's Madison, Wisconsin, and Olympia in Washington
- Phoenix, Arizona, and Lansing, Michigan.
- Here's Honolulu; Hawaii's a joy
- Jackson, Mississippi, and Springfield, Illinois
- South Carolina with Columbia down the way
- And Annapolis in Maryland on Chesapeake Bay.
- They have wonderful clam chowder.
- Cheyenne is in Wyomin' and perhaps you make your home in
- Salt Lake City out in Utah, where the buffalo roam
- Atlanta's down in Georgia, and there's Bismarck, North Dakota
- And you can live in Frankfort in your old Kentucky home.
- Salem in Oregon; from there we join
- Little Rock in Arkansas; Iowa's got Des Moines
- Sacramento, California; Oklahoma and its city
- Charleston, West Virginia, and Nevada, Carson City.
- That's all the capitals there are!2
