Lyrics
Chorus
I gave up Jimmy Rogers
Who owns two garages
All for the love of Mike
I gave up Tim McIver
The taxicab driver
All for the love of Mike
I’ve had offers from this one
And offers from that one
Now you can think just what you like
And begosh I’m not joshin’
I’m takin’ in washin’
All for the love of Mike
Chorus
I gave up Jimmy Rogers
Who owns two garages
All for the love of Mike
I gave up a swell sailor
A doctor, and tailor
All for the love of Mike
I’ve had butchers and bakers
And candlestick makers
Now you can think just what you like
Mary Pickford sent her thanks
’Cause I gave up Fairbanks
All for the love of Mike
Performance
