Artist/Band: Statler Brothers
Lyrics for Song: You Can't Have Your Kate and Edith, Too
Lyrics for Album: Flowers on the Wall: The Essential Statler Brother [1996]



(Bobby Braddock - Curly Putman)



Well, 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 doodle-de-I-do.



Then we went to a drive in a 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 doodle-de-I-do.



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

Kate and Edith was back there too.

You can't have your Kate and Edith too

You rascal you doodle-de-I-do.



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 doodle-de-I-do...


You Can't Have Your Kate and Edith, Too
