I Love Mickey Sheet Music

Written By Bill Katz, Ruth Roberts, and Teresa Brewer, the original sheet music for "I Love Mickey" was published in 1956 by Willow Music Corp. Introduced in August of 1956, the song was recorded on the Coral record label, by Mickey Mantle and Teresa Brewer. The blue-tone title page of the sheet music pictures the two in the recording studio. The release of the song was also featured in the December issue of Rock and Roll Songs Magazine, picturing Mantle and Brewer on the cover.

The song features Teresa Brewer singing the lyrics, with Mickey Mantle talking Back to her. Brewer would sing; "I Love Mickey," and Mantle would reply "Mickey Who?" (Brewer) "You know the Fella with the celebrated swing...." The Song came into being when one day Teresa Brewer was at a Yankee game watching Mickey in action. While leaving the Ball park Teresa commented to her friend "That Mantle is terrific! Someone should write a song about him" Teresa started singing her friend chimed in and they had a few bars written. They presented the song to Mickey, and Mantle said "Great", and recorded the song with Teresa.

The original sheet music was copyrighted in 1956; published by Willow Music Corp.- Grand music Corp. "Sole Selling Agent, 1619 Broadway, N.Y." (with no zip code after the Address) with a selling price of .50¢. on top right. In 1984 the sheet music was published again by the Goldenrod Music,. Inc. Port Chester, N.Y. 10573, and does not have a price. The value for both sheets are the same, as most that buy in the collectors market assume that both were issued in 1956.

"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.
