[Verse 1]
I want to go back to Michigan,​
To dear Ann Arbor town,​
Back to Joe's and the Orient
And back to some of the money I spent.​

[Verse 2]
I want to go back to Michigan,​
To dear Ann Arbor town,​
I want to go back, I want to go back
To Michigan.​

[Verse 3]
Oh! Father and mother pay all the bills
And we have all the fun
In the friendly rivalry of college life,​
Hooray!

[Verse 4]
And we have to figure a hell of a lot
To tell what we have done
With the coin we blew
At dear old Michigan.​
