Knit Knit Knit 1917

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 01 Aug 2004

Pretty little Kitty's got the patriotic craze
knitting scarves for soldiers day and night;
silly little Billy now is spending all his days
watching Kitty knit with all her might;
she even knits when out in his canoe.
She knits while Billy tries to bill and coo.

He'd take a hug
then he'd hug her some more
while she'd knit knit knit knit knit
He'd steal a kiss
then he'd take an encore
She'd say knit knit knit knit knit.
Under a tree he would rest with a smile
She'd lay her knitting down
just for a while;
a bird in a nest said
Oh give us a rest
go on and knit knit knit.

He'd take a hug
then he'd hug her some more
she'd say knit knit knit knit knit
He'd steal a kiss
then he'd take an encore
she'd say knit knit knit knit knit.
One day a tug passed them by in a squall
looking through glasses was captain and all
they both heard a yelp
do you need any help
and she said knit knit knit.

Pretty little Kitty said,
now Willie do your bit,
here's some yarn and needles you can start;
come and sit beside me
and I'll teach you how to knit,
that's the way that you can win my heart.
He'd knit a while and then he'd want to woo.
He'd look at her and drop a stitch or two.

He'd take a hug
then he'd hug her some more
while she'd knit knit knit knit knit
He'd steal a kiss
then he'd take an encore
She'd say knit knit knit knit knit.
Under a tree he would rest with a smile
She'd lay her knitting down
just for a while;
a bird in a nest said
Oh give us a rest
go on and knit knit knit.

He'd take a hug
then he'd hug her some more
she'd say knit knit knit knit knit
He'd steal a kiss
then he'd take an encore
she'd say knit knit knit knit knit.
One day a tug passed them by in a squall
looking through glasses was captain and all
they both heard a yelp
do you need any help
and she said knit knit knit.
