Lyrics
Chorus
O Katharina, oh, Katharina
To keep my love, you must be leaner
There’s so much of you
“Two” could love you
Learn to swim, join a gym
Eat farina, O Katharina
Unless you’re leaner
I’ll have to build a big arena
You’re such a crowd, my Katherine
I got a lot when I got you
Chorus
O Katharina, oh, Katharina
To keep my love, you must be leaner
Your waist is six feet
That’s from Pigs’ feet
Sauerkraut, cut it out
Eat farina, O Katharina
Dance and get leaner
I’ll learn to jazz my concertina
Then we can dance that “Bambaline”
I got a lot when I got you
Performance
