Come 'n listen to my poem, 'bout a man named Mike,
Poor Kansas boy, who could barely ride a bike,
An' then one day, he was walking down the street,
And there on the ground, dough layin' by his feet,
Cash that is, Green backs, Kansas gold.

Well, the first thing ya know, ol' Mike's a millionaire,
Kin-folk said, Mike, ride away from there,
Said a Harley Davidson, is just the bike for you,
So he went down to the cycle shop, and bought a Hog brand new,
Harley that is, Davidson, Hell's Angels.

Ol' Mikey bought a Harley, lawdy he was proud,
Next door neighbors, thought it was too loud,
Lotsa folks objected, but wife she said was fine,
'Cause Mikey he has millions, and half of it is mine,
Dough that is, cold hard cash, spending money.

Well now it's time to say goodbye, to Mike and his dear wife,
An' we would like to thank you folks, for droppin' by our life,
You're all invited back again, to share some dialogue,
An' take a spin down Kansas roads, on Mikey's brand new Hog,
Harley that is, park a spell, take your leathers off,
Y'all come back, Here?
