Smitten With The Mitten
Location
Michigan is where we HAIL, and when you hear that please don’t bail
We’re shaped like a mitten for a reason
Winter is our longest season
Michigan has rich history
Now you know that is no mystery
Our great lakes once harbored natives
And, oh my, weren’t they creative
Their skills and crafts were passed down
Basket weaving still abounds
Michigan’s coal beds used to be
Some of the finest in the whole country
Lumber too was once our thing
Which we traded for fast cars and bling
Henry Ford’s assembly line
Made the working class more refined
Which other state can boast to others
That it has a fellow brother
If you HAIL from there, we call you a Yooper
Holding much diversity, it is pretty super
Mackinaw Island is nothing to sneeze at
And our creamy fudge will make you fat
Overall, our state is awesome
Because our flower is the apple blossom
We’re Smitten, We’re Smitten, We’re smitten with the mitten!
