Lyrics:
Out in Cairo, Illinois where the sun beats down with all its might,
Out in Cairo, Illinois where the big red moon shines every night,
Where the balmy breezes are blowing,
Where the rippling waters are flowing,
To my native land, if you are going,
Don’t forget to take in all the sights
When you drop off at Cairo, Illinois.
The delegation at the station will meet you,
You’re bound to like each Cairo girl and boy.
Each native manner is so hale and hearty,
It’s like a family party.
Down where the Ohio flows to the Mississippi,
You’ll find a new kind of joy.
A brand of sunshine you will find,
That's hotter than the Egypt kind,
When you drop off at musty, dusty, Cairo, Illinois.
