Lyrics

Been to New York City
Been to New Orleans
Been to Northern California
Among the evergreens
From the streets of Chicago
To the Texas range
Everywhere I go there's always
One thing never change

They call me Mike
'Cause that's my name
They call me Mike
'Cause that's my name
And the reason that they give me,
It always is the same
They call me mike
'Cause that's my name

1947
That's when it all began
They didn't call me Kevin
Bill, Bob, George or Stan
Mama told the doctor
He wrote it on the chart
And everybody called me
Mike right from the start

They call me Mike
'Cause that's my name
They call me Mike
'Cause that's my name
And the reason that they give me,
It always is the same
They call me mike
'Cause that's my name

You can check my I. D.
I never leave without it
Big M, little I-k-e
Ain't no doubt about it

They call me Mike
'Cause that's my name
They call me Mike
'Cause that's my name
And the reason that they give me,
It always is the same
They call me mike
'Cause that's my name

They call me Mike
'Cause that's my name
They call me Mike
'Cause that's my name
And the reason that they give me,
It always is the same
They call me mike
'Cause that's my name

They call me mike
They call me mike
They call me mike
THEY CALL ME MIKE!
