WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD LOUIS ARMSTRONG
I SEE TREES OF GREEN, RED ROSES TOO, I SEE THEM BLOOM FOR ME AND YOU AND I THINK TO MYSELF WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD.
I SEE SKIES OF BLUE AND CLOUDS OF WHITE, BRIGHT BLESSED DAYS, DARK SACRED NIGHTS AND I THINK TO MYSELF WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD.
THE COLORS OF THE RAINBOW SO PRETTY IN THE SKIES ALSO ON THE FACES OF PEOPLE GOING BY I SEE FRIENDS SHAKING HANDS SAYING HOW DO YOU DO, THEY’ER REALLY SAYING I LOVE YOU.
I HEAR BABIES CRY, I WATCH THEM GROW THEY’LL LEARN MUCH MORE THAN I’LL EVER KNOW AND I THINK TO MYSELF WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD;
YES I THINK TO MYSELF, WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD.

Why would the Seminoles adopt this song? Makes no sense.
IB4TZ PING!!!!

Really sucks as a fight song.
I’m ‘fuzed.
If so, I do not have a sister for a moose to bite.
I like cheese do you like cheese.
My beeber is stuned.
AND.... All your base are belong to us.
I am glad I am not alone, I thought it was just the blonde in me.
Shaft in Greenland
The world’s full of danger
You do what you can
You’ll feel like a stranger
Like Shaft in Greenland
Travel around and meet all the people
Work up the nerve to touch them lightly
Travel around and meet all the people
Speak to them so politely
Travel around and meet all the people
Don’t be afraid to shake their hands
Travel around and meet all the people
See how it feels to be Shaft in Greenland
The worlds is your oyster
So rake in the clams
And have an adventure
Like Shaft in Greenland
Travel around and see the tundra
Don’t be afraid to get out of your car
Travel around and see the tundra
A little bit of Shaft goes real far
Travel around and see the tundra
Dig for dinner in the cold, damp sand
Travel around and see the tundra
See how it feels to be Shaft in Greenland
He was big and bad, so he traveled to the land
Of the midnight sun
He was big and bad, so he traveled to a land
Where it always snows
And nobody gets a tan
The world is a ghetto
A rusted tin can
So pack a stiletto
Like Shaft in Greenland
no
Old Folks at Home was written by Stephen Foster -- who had never actually been to Florida. He original wrote it about the PeeDee River, but decided that didn't have quite the right ring to it. Smart man.
I'd really like a state song that avoids words like "ribber" and "darkies" -- but that's just me. I'd like a song you could proudly sing at a public gathering. I'd like a state song that has something positive and specific to say about our state -- preferably by someone who has lived here or at least has visited. Keep Old Folks at Home as the "Historic State Song" or something -- keep the history, lose the song.
Doesn’t your shaft get cold in Greenland?
I love that song! I get teary-eyed every time I hear it. Did FL really pick this as their state song?
