GK/RK/RD: Well, L.A. girls are hip, I really dig that herbal tea And New York girls are dressed in black And they always glare at me And southern girls they sound so sweet when they say, "Hi y'all" But I prefer a certain her Whose address is St. Paul I wish they all could be Minnesota girls.

And in the dead of winter when you have a cold cold heart They are able to attach a cable And give you a jump start. They carry pliers in their purse so you're always in good shape And wires and fuse and nails and screws And a big roll of duct tape. I wish they all could be Minnesota girls. I wish they all could be Minnesota girls.

SS: I'm from Minnesota. What's the matter? Flat tire? No problem. Why don't you sit over there in the grass and let me take care of it for you. You don't have a spare? No problem. I've got duct tape.

GK: Duct tape. It's just about the only thing that can take care of almost any problem.
