Father Vince Fitzpatrick thinks the line is
"From the Greenbergs In Virginia,
To the Goldbergs out in Nome"
Actually there is a great parallel to Irving Berlin in this.  Remember 
what Al Jolson says to his mother during Berlin's "Blue Skies" in The 
Jazz Singer: "Oh you'll see the Ginzbergs, the Goldbergs, oh a whole lot 
of Bergs, I don't know them all."
