Mike's Head Is Gone
(Sung to "Poor John is Dead" from the musical "Oklahoma")

Mike's head is gone
Poor Mike's head is gone
His skull it lies upon the ground
(Upon the ground)
His beak is gone, and so's his eye
He'll never make a rooster cry
Now that Mike's head is gone

Mike's head is gone
Though he lives on
You don't your mind to get ahead
(To get ahead)
He's in the black, an on a tour
Alas his thoughts are in the sewer
And poor old Mike's head is gone

Mike's head is gone
Left on the lawn
In Fruita where lead a thoughtless life
(A thoughtless life)
His legacy was bound by corn
For fifty years he has been mourned
And now poor Mike's gone to pot
