There's a burning, burning question
concerning Katy Brown
And there's a bit of a suggestion
on the way they talk in town

Who came to Sunday school with cherries on her lids
Katy did, (Katy didn't,) Katy did, (Katy didn't)
Katy did, (Katy didn't), Oh, she 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), Oh, she 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

And 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), Katy didn't do a thing

And who dubbed the candy man for candy all the time
Katy did, (Katy didn't), Katy did, (no she didn't)
(She did), She 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, the tall and handsome kid
Katy did, (Katy didn't), Katy did, (Katy didn't)
You can bet your life she did

Now who plays the clarinet and makes the darned thing wail
And who blows the trombone and he tells a woeful tale

Gracious ain't it awful, all the other band boys shout
He can't blow his trumpet now it's time to throw him out

And who plays the uke and nearly busted all his strings
(Georgie did), Georgie didn't, (Georgie did), No I didn't
You can bet your life he did
