MIDI File

Kitty: I'm nothing more or less than Kitty Grey.
Just very ordinary Kitty Grey;
You've often passed me by when in the street
And never stopped to admire
my waist or dainty feet.
But when on the stage I am dancing,
You ought to hear the remarks that are made:
The men all say that I'm simply entrancing,
The ladies put down their iced lemonade.
It's no small wonder
My ears start a-burning;
I hear exactly the same thing ev'ry day.
My little head they are all bent on turning,
But no thanks! Kitty's not built that way.
Chorus: When on the stage I am dancing,
You ought to hear the remarks that are made:
The men all say that I'm simply entrancing,
The ladies put down their iced lemonade.
It's no small wonder
My ears start a-burning;
I hear exactly the same thing ev'ry day.
My little head they are all bent on turning,
But no thanks! Kitty's not built that way.
   
Kitty: I'm very much like other people are,
I had a father once, and a mamma:
I feel the cold sometimes, also the heat,
And then I sleep and I drink and I talk
and sometimes eat!
But when on the stage I am dancing,
You ought to hear the remarks that are made:
The men all say that I'm simply entrancing,
The ladies put down their iced lemonade.
It's no small wonder
My ears start a-burning;
I hear exactly the same thing ev'ry day.
My little head they are all bent on turning,
But no thanks! Kitty's not built that way.

I hear exactly the same thing ev'ry day.
My little head they are all bent on turning,
But no thanks! Kitty's not built that way.
   
Kitty: In ev'ry day affairs I'm not unique.
I sometimes fall in love, for quite a week,
I'm not as good as gold, I'm not too bad.
I'm sometimes down in the dumps
and occasionally sad.
But when on the stage I am dancing,
You ought to hear the remarks that are made:
The men all say that I'm simply entrancing,
The ladies put down their iced lemonade.
It's no small wonder
My ears start a-burning;
I hear exactly the same thing ev'ry day.
My little head they are all bent on turning,
But no thanks! Kitty's not built that way.
