Mike, Mike,
let's take the time
for a brief trip,
and see what might rhyme.
Now, Mike, please tell me:
what makes you laugh?
Oh, certainly, a monkey
climbing up a giraffe.

Mike Smith,
tell me what can jump.
A big, green bullfrog
over a hump.

Mike, Mike,
tell me what can fly.
A bluebird soaring
high in the sky.

Mike, Mike,
now let's have some fun,
looking at numbers,
beginning with ONE!
So, Mike Smith,
what do you see?
I see ONE elephant
looking at me.

Mike, Mike,
what do you see?
I see TWO brown bears
juggling for me.

Mike Smith, now
what do you see?
I see THREE lions
roaring at me

Mike, Mike,
what do you see?
I see FOUR monkeys
in a big tree.

Mike Smith, now
what do you see?
I see FIVE dogs barking
at that same tree.

Mike, Mike,
what do you see?
I see SIX ducks
swimming toward me.

Mike Smith, tell me:
what do you see?
I see SEVEN bunnies
hopping for me.

Mike, Mike,
what do you see?
I see EIGHT cats
staring at me.

Mike Smith,
where did those cats run?
Chasing NINE mice
back to where they came from.

Mike, Mike,
what do you see?
I see TEN boys and girls
looking at me.

Mike Smith, yes
their number is TEN.
They want to know:
will you, Christopher, Wayne
and Matthew be their friends?

Mike, Mike, they ask:
"Where's your hometown?"
Atlanta, Georgia,
that's where I am found.

Mike Smith,
wherever you go,

Mom and Dad want you to know...

Whether counting or rhyming,
one thing is true:

Mom and Dad, dear Mike, will always love you.
