Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Mouseketeers' song "Mickey Mouse Mambo" describe the appeal and joy of being part of the Mickey Mouse Club. The song begins by asking the question, "Who's the leader of the club that's made for you and me?" The answer, of course, is Mickey Mouse. The following lines invite listeners to join in ("hey there, hi there, ho there") and spell out his name ("M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E").

The chorus of the song affirms the group's loyalty and pride, declaring "Forever let us hold our banner high, high, high." The second verse promises new experiences, as members "do things and go places all around the world." The final repetition of the chorus encourages the listener to come and join the fun, and echoes the earlier spelling of Mickey's name. Overall, the lyrics celebrate the inclusiveness of the club and the excitement of being part of something bigger than oneself.
