The Michael Rosen Rap

[Verse 1:]

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 seats and listen right here

I'm gonna tell you something that will burn your ear



[Hook:]

Hip. Hop. A hip hop hap

I'm giving you all The Michael Rosen Rap



[verse 2]

I was born on the 7th of May

I remember very well that awful day

I was in my mother curled up tight

Though 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'm telling you that was a puzzle to me

I shouted out, "How'd you know I'm a he?"

The doctor shouted, "Good lord, he can talk!"

I popped out my head and said, "Now watch me walk!"

I juked and jived around that room

Balambamboola balamdadiddy boom



[Hook:]



[Verse 3]

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 made 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
