K-K-K-Katy

[Verse 1]

Now I know

just what makes me love you so.

Just what holds me and enfolds

me

in its

golden glow.

[Verse 2]

Bringing you another quarter hour of familiar music

on phonograph albums.

Here are some favorites of the last war

as sung by Buddy Clark.

You will hear C-C-C-C-K-T,

Just a Baby's Prayer Twilight,

My Buddy,

Dear Old Pal of Mine,

and Keep the Home Fires Burning.

[Verse 3]

Jimmy was a soldier brave and bold,

and Katie

was a maid with hair of gold.

Like an act of faith,

Kate was standing at the gate,

watching all the boys

on dress

parade.

[Verse 4]

Jimmy,

with the girls, was just a gawk.

Stuttered

every time he tried to talk.

Till that night at 8,

he was there at Katie's gate,

stuttering to her,

this

lovesick

crowd.

[Chorus]

Katie,

my beautiful Katie,

you're the only

girl that I adore.

You're the only good

girl that I adore.

When

the moon

shines over the cowshed,

I'll be waiting at the

kitchen door.

[Verse 5]

No 1

ever looked so nice and neat.

No 1

could be just as cute and sweet.

That's what Jimmy thought

when the wedding ring he bought.

Now he's off to France,

the foe

to me.

[Verse 6]

Jimmy

thought he'd like to take a chance.

See

if he could make the Kaiser dance.

Stepping to a tune

all about a silvery moon.

This is what they hear

in

far

off

France.

[Chorus]

Cook, cook, cook, Katie,

my beautiful Katie.

You're the only good, good, good girl that

I adore.

When the moon shines

over the cowshed,

I'll be waiting at the kitchen door.

And

at the kitchen door.

[Verse 7]

Just a baby's prayer,

that's

why I laugh.

When lights are low,

poor

baby's

ears are filled with tears.

Are filled with

tears.

[Verse 8]

There's a mother there,

that's why

I

lie,

who's proud to know.

Her precious

little

top,

this

dad's forget-me-not.

And after saying goodnight, Tonight,

Mommy,

she climbs

the

stairs,

quite unaware,

and says her prayers.

[Verse 9]

Oh, kindly tell my daddy

that he must

take care.

That's a baby's prayer,

that's why

I lie

for her daddy over there.

Twilight saw her

daddy over there.

[Verse 10]

There's a mother there at twilight

who's

proud to know

her precious

little

top is dead.

Miss Dad, forget me not.

And after saying goodnight, Mommy,

she climbs

upstairs,

Quite

unaware,

then says her prayer,

Oh kindly

tell my daddy

that he must take

care

care that the baby's

there at twilight

for her daddy

over

there.

[Verse 11]

Life is a book that we study,

from amid the leaves bring us fire.

There it was written,

my buddy,

That we must part,

you and I.

Nights are long

since you

went away.

I think about

you

all through the day.

[Chorus]

My buddy,

my buddy, nobody quite so true.

Nobody, nobody,

I throw to.

I miss

your voice,

the

Touch of your hand.

I

long to know

if you

understand.

[Verse 12]

My buddy,

my buddy,

your buddy,

Mrs.

Hughes.

[Verse 13]

I miss

your

voice,

the touch of your hand.

I long to

know if you understand, my buddy,

my

buddy,

your

buddy,

Mrs.

My

buddy,

your

buddy, me

and

you.

You.

[Verse 14]

All my life is empty,

then

I went away.

Oh, my life is empty

since I went away.

Skies don't seem to

be so clear.

May

some angels and dreams

guard you while I stray.

May some angels

tend to me, guard you while I stray,

and faith be kind

to join us

some sweet day.

Some free day.

[Verse 15]

Oh, how

I

want you,

Dear old pal

of

mine.

Of

mine.

[Verse 16]

Each

night and day

I pray

you're

always

mine.

Sweetheart,

may

God bless you.

The

little angel

hands

caress

you.

While

sweet

dreams

rescue

dear old

pal from mind.

[Verse 17]

They were summoned from the hillside,

they were called in from the glen,

and the country found them ready

at the stirring

call for men.

Let no tears add to their hardship,

as the soldiers

pass along,

And although your heart is

breaking,

make it sing

this cheery

song.

[Chorus]

Keep

the home fires

burning

while your hearts

are yearning.

Though the lads are far away,

they dream

of home.

[Verse 18]

There's a

silver lining

through the

dark cloud shining.

Through the dark cloud's shining,

Turn the dark cloud inside

out,

Till the boys

come home.

[Chorus]

Keep the home

fires burning

while your hearts

are yearning.

Though the lands

are far away, they

keep the hope. How far away they seem,

my boy.

There's a

silver

lining,

through the dark

clouds shining.

And the dark clouds inside

out, till the boys

come home.

[Outro]

You have just heard Remember with Buddy Clark

singing the favorites of the last war.

This is the Armed Forces Radio Service.

I see,

is each

smile so bright and free?

Or life's badness

turns to gladness

when you smile

on me?

There are smiles

that make us happy.

There are smiles

that make us blue.

Thank

you

for

watching.

I'll

see

you

next

time. Bye-bye.
