Beautiful Nebraska
Written by Jim Fras
Beautiful Nebraska, peaceful prairieland,
Laced with many rivers, and the hills of sand;
Dark green valleys cradled in the earth,
Rain and sunshine bring abundant birth.
Beautiful Nebraska, as you look around,
You will find a rainbow reaching to the ground;
All these wonders by the Master's hand;
Beautiful Nebraska land.
We are so proud of this state where we live,
There is no place that has so much to give.
Beautiful Nebraska, as you look around,
You will find a rainbow reaching to the ground;
All these wonders by the Master's hand,
Beautiful Nebraska land.
Omaha
Written by Fritz Al Carlson
I've been here, I've been there, I've been everywhere
from New York to the coast.
Cities large, cities small I have tried to compare
but my home town still I boast.
It calls me, it wants me, the Gate of the West,
something doing all the time.
Best of all, large or small, I love it, this grand old town of mine.
Omaha, Omaha
Finest place you ever saw.
Come along, join the throng.
Cause you simply can't go wrong.
I'll say it's great in
Omaha, Omaha.
Boost your home town all day long,
and at night when you are sleeping,
dream of O Ma ha.
Cobra Charming
Written by Gail Erwin
You can teach a cobra.
You can reach a cobra.
All you have to do is play.
When she hears the flute, she'll come around.
She just can't resist that sizzlin' sound.
Cobras learn to add up. Cobras learn to write down.
They're the smartest snakes in town.
