The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Take me to Sandy Hook,
Bring along your pocket book,
All the kids know how to cook,
That's why I want to go there.
Chorus:
Take me away from here,
Take me some place new.
There are jolly people there,
I want to go there too.
Take me to Saginaw,
Bring along your maw and paw,
They eat cabbage cooked and raw,
That's why I want to go there.
(Chorus)
Take me to Martinsville,
Bring along a dollar bill,
All the rivers run down the hill,
That's why I want to go there.
(Chorus)
Take me to Stoney Ford,
Bring along a cutting board,
All the ropes are made of cord,
That's why I want to go there.
(Chorus)
Take me to Hackensack,
Bring along a carpet tack,
It's not far to there and back,
That's why I want to go there.
(Chorus)
Take me to Old New York,
Bring along a knife and fork,
All the people love to talk,
That's why I want to go there.
(Chorus)
Take me to Battle Creek,
Bring along your walking stick,
Milk is thin and cream is thick,
That's why I want to go there.
(Chorus)
Take me to Puget Sound,
They sell giggles by the pound,
Everyone goes round and round.
That's why I want to go there.
(Chorus)
