I Love Mickey

I certainly did and so did many of my KV friends. I would say though that Karney and I were the most fanatical. I used to "hang" on every pitch during a telecast and feel the pain when his knee buckled. I'd rush to see the box scores when my father brought home the Post (it was a real newspaper then). I think I learned long division by computing his updated batting average after every at bat. Now just how many homers do you think Mickey would have hit on steroids and HGH instead of scotch?
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 lttle 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
