Lyrics
There’s a burning, burning question
Concerning Katy Brown
Here’s a bit of a suggestion
Of a way they talk in town
Refrain
Say, who came to Sunday school
With cherries on her lid?
Katy did, Katy didn’t, Katy did, Katy didn’t
Katy did, Katy didn’t, Katy did
And who kissed the banker’s boy
And ran away and hid?
Katy did, Katy didn’t, Katy did, Katy didn’t
Katy did, Katy didn’t, Katy did
Gracious what a scandal
Every other girl would cry
She can’t hold a candle
To somebody such as I
But, who got the banker’s boy
And fifty thousand quid?
Katy did, Katy didn’t, Katy did, Katy didn’t
You can bet your life she did
Refrain
Say, who made the football team
Break training in the spring?
Katy did, Katy didn’t, Katy did, Katy didn’t
Katy did, Katy didn’t do a thing
And who dug the candy man
For candy all the time?
Katy did, Katy didn’t, Katy did, Katy didn’t
Katy did, Katy didn’t need a dime
Gracious ain’t it awful
All the other girls would wail
Really it’s unlawful
Why she ought to go to jail
But who got the banker’s boy
That tall and handsome kid?
Katy did, Katy didn’t, Katy did, Katy didn’t
You can bet your life she did
