Arkansas Lyrics - They Might Be Giants

The designers of the Arkansas 

Were inspired to choose a form that was 

The exact dimensions and the shape 

Of the state whose name she bore 

Yes, the ship was shaped like Arkansas 

And the hull was formed without a flaw 

Every detail had been reproduced 

On a scale of 1:1 

I was on the coast of Arkansas 

When I saw her colors from the shore 

And I sadly waved my hankerchief 

As the ship began to sing:

"I'm the ship that's shaped like Arkansas 

And my hull was formed without a flaw 

Every detail has been reproduced 

On a scale of 1:1 

Avast me hearties! 

A blimey state! 

Ahoy there! 

Avast there! 

Ahoy there me hearties!" 

When the rising tide engulfs the shore 

And the waves roll over Arkansas 

Will the ship return to anchor there 

And replace the sunken state?
