YOU CAN'T HAVE YOUR KATE AND EDITH TOO
|
WRITERS BOBBY BRADDOCK, CURLY PUTMAN
|
|
We went out on a double date,
|
Me and Edith, you and Kate.
|
Before we got past their front gate,
|
There you were making eyes at Edith
|
While you were making time with Kate.
|
|
You can¡¯t have your Kate and Edith, too.
|
You, rascal, you. Yodel-ay-hee-hoo.
|
|
Then we went to a drive-in show.
|
You were kissing on Kate. She wouldn¡¯t let you go.
|
I looked at Edith, started feeling bold.
|
I found your big, hairy hand holding on
|
To the hand I was trying to hold.
|
|
You can¡¯t have your Kate and Edith, too.
|
You, rascal, you. Yodel-ay-hee-hoo.
|
|
Edith asked me if I would
|
Get her some popcorn. I said I would.
|
When I got back, dad-blame if you
|
Hadn¡¯t crawled into the backseat with
|
Edith. And Kate was back there, too!
|
|
You can¡¯t have your Kate and Edith, too.
|
You, rascal, you. Yodel-ay-hee-hoo.
|
|
Years have passed since that first date.
|
I married Edith. You married Kate.
|
Now every night when I come home,
|
Your car¡¯s in the driveway, Kate¡¯s in the car
|
And you and Edith are in the house alone!
|
|
You can¡¯t have your Kate and Edith, too.
|
You, rascal, you. Yodel-ay-hee-hoo.
