Oh, I have a little daughter, and my daughter's
name is Kate.

And she's every bit mischievous as a kitten on a
skate.

With a bandage on her forehead and the bruises on
her knees,

You would swear she'd fought with buccaneers on
all the seven seas.

For its up the stairs and down the stairs and in
the room and out.

Like a miniature tornado, she can blow the house
about.

Take an angel with the devil in the twinkling of
her eye,

And that's my Katy, little lady, and I love
her.



Now you might have heard of miracles, you might
believe in saints,

But you'd never believe my Katy when she's
playing with her paints.

For there's red upon the window and there's green
upon her face,

On the wall, In her hair, but on the paper, not a
trace.

When she's in her room and quiet, and there comes
a little calm,

You develop the sensation that you're sitting on
a bomb.

Take an angel with the devil in the twinkling of
her eye,

And that's my Katy, little lady, and I love
her.



My Katy loves her games, you know, and thirty
times a week,

I find myself dragooned into a game of
hide-and-seek.

So I found myself in closets, under beds I
quietly creep, 

And I wait for thirty minutes till my brain has
gone to sleep.

Yes I sit there in the closet and it seems like
half a day,

Till I find a friend has come to call and Kate's
gone out to play!

Take an angel with the devil in the twinkling of
her eye,

And that's my Katy, little lady, and I love
her.



Now, you might have heard of daddies who would
dote upon their girls,

Who get wrapped around their fingers by the
tossing of the curls,

Who respond to hugs and kisses till there's
nothing they wouldn't do,

Don't you ever believe a word if it, it simply
isn't true.

For I'd only jump the moon for her, I'd only jump
the sea,

For the hugs I get to give her and the kisses she
gives to me.

Take an angel with the devil in the twinkling of
her eye,

And that's my Katy, little lady, and I love
her.
