| Jimmy was a soldier brave and bold,
|
| Katy was a maid with hair of gold,
|
| Like an act of fate,
|
| Kate was standing at the gate,
|
| Watching all the boys on dress parade.
|
| Kate smiled, with a twinkle in her eye,
|
| Jim said m-m-meet you by and by.
|
| That same night at eight,
|
| Jim was at the garden gate,
|
| Stuttering this song to K-K-Kate…
|
| K-K-K-Katy, beautiful Katy,
|
| You’re the only g-g-g-girl that I adore;
|
| When the m-m-m-moon shines,
|
| Over the cowshed,
|
| I’ll be waiting at the k-k-k-kitchen door.
|
| K-K-K-Katy, beautiful Katy,
|
| You’re the only g-g-g-girl that I adore;
|
| When the m-m-m-m-moon shines,
|
| Over the cowshed,
|
| I’ll be waiting at the k-k-k-kitchen door.
|
| No one ever looked so nice and neat,
|
| No one could be just as cute and sweet,
|
| That’s what Jimmy thought,
|
| When the wedding ring he bought,
|
| Now he’s off to France the foe to meet.
|
| Jimmy thought he’d like to take a chance,
|
| See if he could make the Kaiser dance,
|
| Stepping to a tune,
|
| All about the silv’ry moon,
|
| This is what they hear in far off France…
|
| K-K-K-Katy, beautiful Katy,
|
| You’re the only g-g-g-girl that I adore;
|
| When the m-m-m-moon shines,
|
| Over the cowshed,
|
| I’ll be waiting at the k-k-k-kitchen door.
|
| K-K-K-Katy, beautiful Katy,
|
| You’re the only g-g-g-girl that I adore;
|
| When the m-m-m-moon shines,
|
| Over the cowshed,
|
| I’ll be waiting at the k-k-k-kitchen door. |
