O KATHARINA
Again we have the chauve-souris
They come to us from 'cross the sea
With something new they always do
For me and you
A new contagious melody
The rage of London and Paree
They brought along
And now this song is going strong
For Balieff instructs them all
He makes you sing it with him
Before you go you're bound to know
The melody and rhythm
And then next day while on your way
You hum and sing and long to play
Oh Heinie sailed from Rotterdam
He stopped off first at Amsterdam
To meet his bride then side by side
They took the ride across the sea
To Yankee land
He furnished up a flat so grand
And there she sat
So big and fat
Down at their flat
One night he took his wifie out
They went to see the Follies
He thought that she was such a queen
Until he saw those Dollies
When they got home
He shook his head
Then to his wife he turned and said
Chorus:
O Katharina, O Katharina
O Katharina, O 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 Katharine
I got a lot when I got you.
