(What Kind of a Party is This?)
A popular song from 1932
Words and music by Irving Caesar
The sheet music:
Lyrics
When Noah planned his famous ark
He knew just what to do
He searched until he found a park
And walked off with the zoo
With lions, tigers, monkeys, donkeys
He sailed the ocean wide
And when he lined them up on deck
‘Twas then some cuckoo cried
Chorus:
What! No Mickey Mouse?
What kind of a party is this?
Your lions roar, your tigers snore
I’ve heard them roar and snore before
I don’t see why you make a fuss
About the hippopotamus
Your dogs bow-wow, your cats meow
I know that you can milk a cow
But Mickey makes me laugh and howl
And I want Mickey now
So, where’s that tricky mouse?
That slicky, wacki, wicki
Bolsheviki Mickey Mouse
Chorus:
Vote for Mickey Mouse!
And make him our next President!
To Congress he is sure to say
“Meow, meow, okay, okay
Ja, ja, yes, yes, si, si, oui, oui
How dry I am, have one on me”
And then he’ll cry, “Give me the facts
Give me my axe, I’ll cut your tax”
He’ll show us all what can be done
When he’s in Washington
So, let’s give Hoover’s house
To tricky, wacki, wicki
Bolsheviki Mickey Mouse
