Mickey Plays Basketball


Mickey playing basketball jumps up high!
Ball in the basket, twenty points are scored,
Minnie cheers from the stands, “Yippee! Bull’s eye!”
There he is winning, the one she adored,

Ball in the basket, twenty points are scored,
One after another, keeps shooting them,
There he is winning, the one she adored,
Minnie is all smiles, her Mickey’s a gem,

One after another, keeps shooting them,
Minnie cheers from the stands, “Yippee! Bull’s eye!”
Minnie is all smiles, her Mickey’s a gem,
Mickey playing basketball jumps up high!
