Kitty went a-courtin' and he did ride
With a sword and a pistol by his side
He rode 'til he came to Miss Kitty's door
Where he'd often been beforeMiss Kitty came a-trippin down
Green glass slippers and a golden gown
He took Miss kitty upon his knee
And he said "Miss Kitty, will you marry me?"Keemo Kymo, Kymo Kee
Way down yonder in a in a hollow tree
An owl and a bat and a bumblebee
King Kong Kitchie Kitchie Ki-Me-O
"Without my Uncle Cat's consent
Boy I would not marry the President"
That ol' Cat laughed 'til he shook his sides
To think Miss Kitty would be a brideWhat will the wedding supper be?
Two butter beans and a black-eyed pea
What more will the wedding supper be?
Buttercups and dew-drop teaREFRAINThe first came in was a silver moth
She spread her wings for a tablecloth
The next came in was a bumblebee
Set a little banjo on her kneeNext came in was the old gray goose
Picked up his fiddle and he cut loose
Next came in were two little ants
Well they stood up to have a dance
REFRAINOh what a feast for the wedding day
Still they left for the honeymoon right away
Now they live far off in a hollow tree
Where they have good health and children threeREFRAIN 2x
