K-k-k-Katy & parody K-k-k-K P - lyrics - Genie at Queen Anne Manor

K-K-K-KATY (Geoffrey O'Hara 1918)

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.
Jimmy with the girls was just a gawk,
Stuttered every time he tried to talk.
Still that night at eight, he was there at Katy's gate,
Stuttering to her this lovesick cry:

CHORUS:
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.

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 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:

(CHORUS)

Geoffrey O'Hara, an Army song Leader born in Chatham, Ontario, in 1882, wrote:"Lovingly dedicated to K-K-K-Katy Richardson, who inspired this song."

Parody:
K-k-k-K.P., dirty old K. P.,
You're the only j-j-j-job that I abhor.
When the m-moon shines over the cowshed,
I'll be mopping up the k-k-k-kitchen floor!
