I'm an MK
Composer and artist unknown

Well Mama and Daddy were missionaries
Took us to places kinda strange and scary
But Daddy said it was all necessary
(and Daddy never lies)
We drove a million miles in a rusty van
From the Great White North to the Southern Land
I lost my mittens so my Mama put socks on my hands
I was so cold I thought I’d die.

(chorus)
But I’m an MK, I wouldn’t trade it
through everything that came we always made it
I’m an MK, I’m glad it’s true
And you can tell your folks you wanna be an MK too.

Well I was raised in the jungles of the Amazon
And I’ve driven through Europe on the Autobahn
I’ve been up and down the alleys of old Hong Kong
And I’ve seen the snow in Nome
I’ve seen snakes eat people and people eat snakes
And I’ve even seen people eatin’ monkey steaks
But the strangest thing of all are back in the States
In the place my folks call home.

(chorus)
Cuz I'm an MK, I wouldn't trade it
if there's any better life I couldn't name it
I'm an MK, I'm glad it's true
And you can tell your folks you want to be an MK too.

It doesn’t matter that I never owned a new car
I never did miss being a football star
I’ve been livin’ in a world that’s bigger by far
Than most folks ever know
Well I can parlé French and hablo Español
You’d be surprised at the various things that I know
There’s not a place in the world that I would not go
If the Lord had sent me there.

(chorus)
Cuz I'm an MK, I wouldn't trade it
if there's any better life I couldn't name it
I'm an MK, I'm glad it's true
And you can tell your folks you want to be an MK too.
