Michigan Lyrics

by Charles David Sharp

Nearly black, blue girl with angel face
Mister Lincoln says it's pary time
Tiffany, lavender lace
All-American first prize
Hearts afire, a climbing blaze
Michigan, yeah yeah
Candy-stripe delight was Joseph's coat
A patchwork rainbow and a butterfly
Patio of purple smoke
Tropicana forty-nine
In the snow a Monet rose
Michigan, yeah yeah
Blazing stars and bleeding hearts
And widow's tears
Flowered prose and fallen snow
Another year, and the sky is clear
Michigan, yeah yeah
Canterbury Bells, Amazing Grace
Queen Elizabeth and Kennedy
Rose-of-Sharon dinner plates
Sweet William by the lemon tree
Lollipops and pink parfaits
Michigan, yeah yeah
Blazing stars and bleeding hearts
And widow's tears
Flowered prose and fallen snow
Another year, and the sky is clear
Michigan, yeah yeah
Pea*****s, pixie cups, English primrose
Aphrodite and the Fairy Queen
Hear them sing, "Baronne Prevost"
The Red Duchess and the Crimson King
And our host, Sir Jim Meadows
Michigan, yeah yeah
Blazing stars and bleeding hearts
And widow's tears
Flowered prose and fallen snow
Another year, and the sky is clear
Michigan, yeah yeah
