Katy went walking on an autumn day Some boys were swinging conkers and she asked to play They took a look at Katy and said Go Away Conkers is no game for a girl Katy smiled and said I'm just as good as you And anything that you can do well I'll do to I'll find myself a conker and before I'm through I'll have a conker that will conquer the world CHORUS: Katy's conker it really was a whopper Katy's conker there's nothing that can stop her They call her Kate the conqueror cause Katy is the girl With a conker to conquer the world 2. Katy stood beneath the spreading chestnut tree She chose the biggest conker there that she could see She took a stick and brought it down so skillfully Just the way you would expect from a girl She took it home and baked it in the oven hot She soaked it in some vinegar she used the lot She made a hole strung the string and tied the knot In the conker that could conquer the world 3. Look boys said Katy here's a big surprise She whirled the conker round and round before their eyes She said bring on your conkers any shape or size Remember conkers is no game for a girl Now bits of broken conker soon lay everywhere And boys with open mouths could only stand and stare For on the battlefield was Katy standing there Swinging the conker that could conquer the world 4. Now Katy and her conker could do nothing wrong And when she played for England they all came along All the boys she'd beaten came to cheer her on Their Kate the conqueror not only a girl When she played for Europe they said you'll go far Then she became world champion and quite a star Next year I hear that she is off to Mars With her conker that could conquer the world |
