Since Katy the Waitress Became An Aviatress
Lyric by Will Curtis
Music by Irving Bibo
Published 1909

[verse 1]
All the boys are crazy about a little daisy
who used to be a waitress on Broadway
She craved a new sensation
so she took up aviation
and now she's some high flyer so they say
When ever the propeller starts to buzz
The res'trant has to close its doors because

[chorus 1]
Since Katy the waitress became an aviatress
the boys are all up in the air
She used to give the fellows a smile now and then
But since she took to flying she look down on the men
How you gonna keep'em down on the ground
When their hearts follow her ev'rywhere
The boss says she can have her job back any day
But she says being on the leel doesn't pay
Since Katy the waitress became an aviatress
the boys are all up in the air

[verse 2]
Bus'ness is depressing it surely is distressing
the way the boys just follow her around
At night or in the day time
during bus'ness hours or playtime
where Katy is that's where the boys are found
The girls have figured out a little scheme
They're goin' to buy up all the gasoline.

[chorus 2]
Since Katy the waitress became an aviatress
the boys are all up in the air
One fellow's got it fixed with the man in the moon
To let them hide behind a cloud so that they can spoon*
How you gonna keep'em down on the ground
When their hearts follow her ev'rywhere
They say she goes in bathing in the milky way
I bought myself a brand new telescope today
Since Katy the waitress became an aviatress
the boys are all up in the air
