You may think I'm happy
You may think I'm sad
You may think I'm crazy
You may think I'm mad
But hang on to your seat, and listen right here
'Cause I'm gonna tell you something that'll burn your ear
With a hip, hop, a hip-hop-hap
I'm giving you all
The Michael Rosen Rap
I was born on the Seventh of May
I remember very well that awful day
I was in my mother, curled up tight
But I have to say, it was as dark as night
Nothing to do, didn't want to breathe
I was so happy, didn't want to leave
Then I hear some people give a shout,
One push, Mrs. Rosen, and he'll be out
I'll tell you, that was a puzzle to me
So I shouted out, how'd you know I'm a He?
The doctor shouted, Good Lord, he can talk
So I popped out my head and said, Now watch me walk
I juked and jived around that room,
Balam-bam-boolah, balam-baditty-boo
With a hip, hop, a hip-hop-hap
I'm giving you all
The Michael Rosen Rap
When I was one, I swam the English Channel
When I was two, I ate a soapy flannel
When I was three, I started getting thinner
When I was four, I ate the dog's dinner
When I was five, I was in a band playing drums
When I was six, I ate a bag of plums
When I was seven, I robbed a bank with my sister
When I was eight, I became Prime Minister
When I was nine, I closed all the schools
When I was ten, they named me King of the Fools
So that's what I am
That's what I be
With an M
With an I
With a K
With an E
That's what I am
That's what I be
Mr. Mike
Mr. Michael
Mr. Rosen
Mr. Me
With a hip, hop, a hip-hop hap
I'm giving you all
