It’s called “The 50 States that Rhyme”

I found a link for it that has a Midi sample of the tune, and the lyrics, so I hope it helps you out. It did for me, because over 15 years later I still can recall the tune and lyrics.

It’s a song, they say all the states in ABC order but the tune gets stuck in your head so it’s easier to remember. Skip to around 40 seconds.
