F#m      A
Life is my friend
 E             B
Rake it up to take it in
F#m              A
Wrap me in your cinnamon
   E           B    F#m A E
Especially in Michigan
              B        F#m A E B
well I could be your friend

White clouds I'm in
A mitten full of fisherman
c'mon Huckleberry Finn
Show me how to make her grin
Well I'm in Michigan

Chorus:
A
Cry me a future
  E                        F#m
Where the revelations run amok
 D
Ladies and gentlemen
 A                     E
Lions and tigers come running
                   F#m  D
Just to steal your luck

A rainy Lithuanian
Who's dancing as an Indian
Painted in my tiger skin
Especially in Michigan
Double chins and bowling pins
Unholy Presbyterians

Land is full of medicine
I find it when I'm slipping in
The tainted new librarian
(Who fainted when she tucked you in)
Well, I'm in Michigan
(Let's float away like zeppelins)
On stoic gusts of Northern wind

Chorus

Out on the farm we'll be
Swimming with the mother duck
Deep in the mitten where
Lions and tigers come running
Just to steal your luck

Life is my friend underwater violins
Order now from Ho Chi Min
A porcelain that comes in twins
When I’m in Michigan
Throw me in the loony bin
('Cause I can take it on the chin)
When I’m in Michigan
(The cleavage of your pillow skin)
Is moving like a violin

Chorus

Out on the farm we'll be
Swimming with the mother duck
Deep in the mitten where
Lions and tigers come running
Just to steal your luck, oh yeah
