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 such 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 love sick 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 was 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
