| 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 file on 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-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 cow shed
|
| 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 cow shed
|
| 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 cow shed
|
| 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 cow shed
|
| I’ll be waiting at the k-k-k-kitchen door |
