Shoop shoop, shoop de-lang-a-lang
Shoop shoop, shoop de-lang-a-lang
Shoop shoop, shoop de-lang-a-lang
Shoop shoop, shoop de-lang-a-lang
Shoop shoop, shoop de-lang-a-lang
Shoop shoop, shoop de-lang-a-lang
Shoop shoop, shoop de-lang-a-lang
Shoop shoop, shoop de-lang-a-lang
Oh whatcha gonna do, Katie?
You're a sweet sweet girl
But it's a cruel, cruel world
A cruel, cruel world
My pins are none too strong, Katie
Hurry up, Mrs Brown
I can feel it coming down
And it won't take none too long
But since you said goodbye
Polka dots fill my eyes
And I don't know why
Shoop shoop, shoop de-lang-a-lang
Shoop shoop, shoop de-lang-a-lang
Shoop shoop, shoop de-lang-a-lang
Shoop shoop, shoop de-lang-a-lang
Whatcha gonna do Katie?
You're a sweet, sweet girl
But it's a cruel, cruel world
A cruel, cruel world
Safety pins are none too strong, Katie
They hold my life together
And I'll never say never
And I'll never say never again
But since you said goodbye
Polka dots fill my eyes
And I don't know why
Since you said goodbye
polka dots fill my eyes
And I don't know why
Shoop shoop shoop de-lang-a-lang
Shoop shoop shoop de-lang-a-lang
Shoop shoop shoop de-lang-a-lang
But since you said goodbye
Polka dots fill the skies
And I don't know why
