Write a New State Song

This morning on NPR's Weekend Sunday Edition, there was a story about the need to change the lyrics to Maryland's state song.  The original was written by a Confederate sympathizer and refers to "Northern scum".

With that in mind, and not knowing the official Connecticut State Song, here are the lyrics I have written, to be sung to the tune of "O Tannenbaum" (a.k.a., O Christmas Tree).

Ahem - The (New) Connecticut State Song 

We like it here, 
We like it here, 
O fucking A, we like it here.

Connecticut costs far too much,
And yet it has the common touch.

Where white trash vies with upper crust,
We like it here, 
Connecticut.
