Mike mccormick was a steel drivin man
Who never really gave a damn
Only thing he worked on was his tan
Mike mccormick was a steel drivin man
Hed get up in the morning to hammer in them spikes
Unless hed been up drinking the previous night
Or if his bones werent feeling right
Or if it looked like it was going to rain
He had a tendency of being late for work
And everyone around thought he was a jerk
Hed take long breaks and say his back was hurt
Then hed have a drink to ease the pain
Mike mccormick was a steel drivin man
Who never really gave a damn
Only thing he worked on was his tan
Mike mccormick was a steel drivin man
Mikes dad: mike! mike! get up, mike!
Mike: what, what is it?
Mikes dad: get up, its time to go to work.
Mike: awww, already?
Mikes dad: well, dont you want to hammer in them spikes?
Mike: no.
Mikes dad: oh.
His arms were like twigs and his legs were like straws
His hands were like a babys bum they were so soft
Hed wheeze and moan and whine and cough
Then go home and take a little nap
He never got fired cuz he was the boss son
He just hung around and bothered everyone
Never drove a spike, not a single one
Though now and then hed give a tap
Mike mccormick was a steel drivin man
Who never really gave a damn
Only thing he worked on was his tan
Mike mccormick was a steel drivin man
Mikes dad: mike! mike! mike!

Mike: sounds like a good idea.
Mikes dad: no! no! no!
Mike: yeah, itll work faster.
Mikes dad: you dont understand! you see, its gonna cost us all our jobs. you, mike mccormick, gotta prove em wrong!
Mike: okay.
So he took his hammer and hammered one time (ow!)
He took his hammer and hammered two times (oh, jeez!)
He took his hammer and hammered three times (ohhh!)
Then he got crushed by a meteor and died
Mike mccormick was a steel drivin man
Who never really gave a damn
Only thing he worked on was his tan
