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 love sick cry

K-K-K-Katy beautiful Katy
Bb7 Eb
You're the only g-g-g-girl that I adore
Eb
When the m-m-m-moon shines
F7
Over the cowshed
Bb7 Eb
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
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
