Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. Mar. 17, 2022]

Coming back sometime to pick up my tambourine
Yeah, the one that's hanging in your home
Oh Mike, I think you know the one I mean

And like they keep telling us
Think they got it wrong
They say math and music are the same thing
Here's a new number for ya, call it Mike's song

So I sing a song for Mike
You can all join in whenever you like

Yeah, I hear San Carlos is kinda pretty
At this time of year
And your lovely wife thinks you're freakishly bright
Now ain't that the kind of thing you love to hear

And she says she loves you
And no that can't be bad
Yeah she says she loves you Mike
You know you should be glad

So I sing a song for Mike
You can all join in whenever you like

Hey Mike, I hear you like to travel
And the family hike
And if you really dig those Beatles
Then as peoples we two are so alike

They say all your students think you're wise and prudent
So good at what you do
Add it all up with three fine children
A lot of people got a lot of love for you

So I sing a song for Mike
You can all join in whenever you like
