I am desperately trying to find the complete lyrics to the song K-K-K-Katie for
some friends of mine who are having a baby girl named Katie... I know the song
was sung by Bill or Billy Burray in 1918 on the album "Son of Tip". If anyone
knows these lyrics could you please send them to me at pa...@aol.com....

Thanks so much!!

Carrie Beth,
My version, followed by a version I found on the
'net' at a 'Boy Scouts' site... - Tony W. -

K-K-K-KATIE

K-k-k-Katie beautiful Katie, you're the only little girl that I adore.
When the 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-moon shines over the cow-shed
I'll be w-waiting at your k-k-k-k-kitchen door.

K-K-K-Katy, She swallowed a taty
She swallowed a can of Pork and Beans the night before,
The night before that, she swallowed the door-mat.
Now she's trying to swallow the key to the kitchen door.

K-K-K-KATY
Words and Music by Geoffrey O'Hara (1882-1966)

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 ev'ry time he tried to talk
Still that night at eight, he was there at Katy's gate
Stuttering to her this lovesick cry:

"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 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"

As kids, we always sang...
K K K Katie
Swallowed a halfpenny
A piece of fish
A penneth of chips the night before
The night before that
She swallowed the doormat,

We sang
KKK Katy , she swallowed a halfpenny
A half a crown & threepenny bit the day before
And after that , she swallowed the doormat
And then she swallowed the key to the kitchen door
