Old Pete was a Michigan water bug,
He didn’t swim fast but, went chug, chug, chug,
He didn’t have any job where he had to be,
He could swim slowly ’cause he was free,
Just like his land friend Andy the Slug.
Pete the water bug swam out to sea,
He decided Michigan was no place to be,
Taxes were too high,
Benefits were cut to die,
Pete was eaten by an ocean fishy.
