I was walkin' down a steep street hill

My mEmouth began to lCet words sDpill

G [G/f#]

People gathered, off and on

I dEmidn't like Emthat, I went to LCake HurDon

Saw a train and hopped underneath

Made it there by the skin of my teeth

I heard a poem say weak and weary

Didn't like that, I went to Lake Erie

Got there and I spoke my thoughts

No one liked the words I brought

Man came up, he said I'm inferior

I didn't like that, I went to Lake Superior

Got there and it was freezin' cold

I spoke, folks gathered, young and old

Ate some trout, I wanted to fish again

So I headed out towards Lake Michigan

Tried to enter the big U.S.

They didn't let me in, I guess

Told me that I had to go

I headed home, to Lake Ontario

I made it there a little bit dead

Folks liked the words I said

Woman asked if I like cake

I sEmaid "NC.o Ma'am just love Great Lakes"

Oh yeah

Love 'em so much

Swim in 'em, all day

Snorkelin' and, runnin' around
