Verse:
Ames is a city just like a bee,
It is as busy as busy can be,
With railroads and street cars and wide open door,
Churches and schools and playgrounds galore,
With beautiful homes, and a welcome to those,
Who stop off at Ames, where the tall corn grows.

Chorus:
Ames, Ames, gee whiz,
Now we will sing and tell what it is,
A swell little city of which we are proud,
Her praises we’ll sing, in melody loud,
A beautiful city as ev’ry one knows,
In the heart of the state where the tall corn grows.

Verse 2:
With highways and campgrounds up to date
I-o-way College is owned by the state.
We're pround of this college and we want it known,
Right here in Ames, the first seed was grown,
Which made the tall corn, That made millions for those,
Who live in the state, where the tall corn grows.

Chorus:
Ames, Ames, gee whiz,
Now we will sing and tell what it is,
A swell little city of which we are proud,
Her praises we’ll sing, in melody loud,
A beautiful city as ev’ry one knows,
In the heart of the state where the tall corn grows.
