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.
