LITTLE MIKE-words and music Jon Clark
© Copyright 2011 Row North Music (ASCAP)

Little Mike pushes papers onto the floor
folds his arms and wonders why
tease the girls and make their heads turn around
Mary Sue he makes her cry

What a problem this disruption you know
how to deal with little Mike
Shall we make him an example to see
fix his wagon take his bike

Raise your hand child, raise your hand
Tell the teacher your no fool
Close your book now, close your book
To the corner, on a stool

Mr Jensen said he's tried everything
Throws his arms up in despair
Take this boy and sent him up to the home
Will they break him I don't care

He's just trouble that this world does not need
Is there something I don't see?
What's the use of taking time with this boy
Grown up man he'll never be

Raise your hand child, raise your hand
Tell the teacher your no fool
Close your book now, close your book
To the corner, on a stool

Bet you'll grow up to be gov'ner some day
Politician of the state
Take a pen and wink your eye, sign a law
Wouldn't that just take the cake

Run for president of our country thee
Chief Commander in his chair
Then you'll scare us all half out of our wits
I don't know whose worse for wear

Raise your hand child, raise your hand
Tell the teacher your no fool
Close your book now, close your book
To the corner, on a stool…To the corner, on a stool
