This is a parody of the Toni Basil song “Mickey” with lyrics about the characters Lucy and Ricky from the 1950s television show I Love Lucy. Voice actress Tress MacNeille appears on the track as well.
[Ricky]
Hey Lucy, I'm home
[Lucy]
Oh Ricky, you're so fine
You're so fine, you blow my mind
Hey Ricky, hey Ricky
[Ricky]
Oh Lucy, you're so fine
You're so fine, you blow my mind
Hey Lucy, hey Lucy
[Lucy]
Oh Ricky, you're so fine
You play your bongos all the time
Hey Ricky, hey Ricky
[Ricky]
Oh Lucy, you're so fine
How I love to hear you whine
Hey Lucy
[Lucy]
Hey Ricky
You always play your conga drums, you think you got the right
You wake up little Ricky in the middle of the night
Stop shakin' your maracas now and just turn out the light Ricky
[Ricky]
I'm sick of Fred and Ethel always coming over here
Cause Fred eats all our pretzel sticks and then he spills his beer
Why don't you serve your casserole and make them disappear Lucy
[Lucy]
Oh Ricky, what's a girl like me supposed to do
You really drive me wild when you sing your babalu
[Ricky]
Oh Lucy, you're so dizzy, don't you have a clue
Well, here's to you Lucy
I love you too Lucy, too Lucy, let's babalu Lucy
[Lucy]
Hey Ricky
You're always playing at the Club, you never let me go
I'm begging and I'm pleading but you always tell me no
Oh, please honey please, let me be in your show Ricky...wah!
[Ricky]
You always burn the roast and you drop the dishes too
You iron my new shirt and you burn a hole right through
You're such a crazy redhead I just don't know what to do Lucy
[Lucy]
Oh Ricky
What a pity, don't you understand
That every day's a rerun and the laughter's always canned
[Ricky]
Oh Lucy
I'm the Latin leader of the band
So here's to you Lucy
Let's babalu Lucy, too Lucy
Everybody rumba!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ricky was written by Mike Chapman & Nicky Chinn & “Weird Al” Yankovic.
Ricky was produced by Rick Derringer.
“Weird Al” Yankovic released Ricky on Tue May 03 1983.
Weird Al told Vulture in 2014:
That (music video) was done in 1983. It was when my first album came out, which was right after MTV debuted. The thing about MTV was it was a 24-hour music-video channel that started back when people weren’t making music videos, so they needed product to fill the pipe...
