Ode to Michael and Tanya The other night as I sat thinking, I thought of Michael as a boy. When we first knew him, he was so little, Only seven years and a joy. CHORUS: You are his Tanya, his only Tanya. You'll make him happy for all time. You'll never know, girl, how much we love you. Please don't change your mind! Those childhood years bring such Michael memories From Lands across the way. Of birthdays, balloons, and candles And younger playmates that led him astray. CHORUS As he grew older and we were parted, We followed his exploits good and bad. They only seemed to underscore, though, "He is just like his Dad." CHORUS Then just as we were thinking, He would never leave the nest. He brings home Tanya, for the "blessing" And we now all know the rest!
