"I Love Mickey" - Lyrics 1956
Written By Bill Katz, Ruth Roberts, and Teresa Brewer

I love Mickey (Mickey who)
You know who, the fella
With the celebrated swing

Oh, I love Mickey (Mickey who)
You know who, the one who
Drives me batty every spring

If I don't make a hit with him
My heart will break in two
I wish that I could catch him
And pitch a little woo

I love Mickey (Mickey who)
Mickey you (Mickey me)
That's who

I love Mickey (Mickey who)
You know who, his muscles
Are a mighty sight to see

Oh, I love Mickey (Mickey who)
You know who, the one I want
To steal right home with me

Oh, I'd sacrifice most anything
To win his many charms
I'd like to be a fly ball
And pop right in his arms

I love Mickey (Mickey who)
Mickey Mantle, ooh, I love you
(Who, me) ooh, I love you
(Not Yogi Berra)
Ooh, I love you
Mickey.
