Oh what a shame
they gave you the name
of Mickey
where is the rose
that grows in repose
like you,
Lucky the birds
and the bees you'd meet
Lucky the moss
and the violet sweet
when they were trod
by your bare little feet
there in the morning dew.
How can you blame me
when I pine,
Dearie, to change your name
to mine?

Mickey, pretty Mickey
with your hair of raven hue;
in your smiling
so beguiling
there's a bit of Killarney
bit of the Blarney too.
Childhood in the wildwood
like a mountain flow'r you grew;
Pretty Mickey
pretty Mickey
can you blame anyone
for falling in love
with you.

Mickey, pretty Mickey
with your hair of raven hue;
in your smiling
so beguiling
there's a bit of Killarney
bit of the Blarney too.
Childhood in the wildwood
like a mountain flow'r you grew;
Pretty Mickey
pretty Mickey
can you blame anyone
for falling in love
with you.

You had a friend
that used to defend
and love you,
he was a dog
a mutt of a dog
it's true.
He used to follow you
ev'rywhere
look in your eyes
with a loveable stare,
he was a lucky old dog to be there
and he believed it too,
this is a promise true from me
I'll be as faithful to you as he.

Mickey, pretty Mickey
with your hair of raven hue;
in your smiling
so beguiling
there's a bit of Killarney
bit of the Blarney too.
Childhood in the wildwood
like a mountain flow'r you grew;
Pretty Mickey
pretty Mickey
can you blame anyone
for falling in love
with you.

Mickey, pretty Mickey
with your hair of raven hue;
in your smiling
so beguiling
there's a bit of Killarney
bit of the Blarney too.
Childhood in the wildwood
like a mountain flow'r you grew;
Pretty Mickey
pretty Mickey
can you blame anyone
for falling in love
with you.
