Where’s Your Knickers Catelin?

Catelin was a baby girl
Her daddy’s own delight
She’d giggle and coo for everyone
Each morning and each night
At midday after taking a nap
Her nanny would shriek with fright
Oh gosh all mighty where’s your knickers Catelin

Chorus:
Where’s your knickers Catelin
Where’s your knickers girl?
Did you hang em on a passing cart?
Or toss em down a wishing well
Your daddy’s gonna have a fit
Your nanny is gonna faint
Crying gosh all mighty where’s your knickers Catelin


A livelier child there never was
One Catelin at age 4
Dropping her drawers just anywhere
Watching her was a chore
Hanging from the chandelier
Her daddy was heard to cry
Oh gosh all mighty where’s your knickers Catelin

Chorus:


A quiet morning drinking tea
The front bell it did ring
The stable master of Spenser house
Dire news he did bring
When riding horse the sun was hot
She thought t'would be more cool that not
Oh gosh all mighty where’s your knickers Catelin


Chorus:


Brandy in the afternoon
Just a little sip
What did you see –the bishop here
Not for a pleasure trip
Wrapped in a towel our Cate comes in
Fresh from a skinny dip
Oh gosh all mighty where’s your knickers Catelin


Chorus:
 

Remembering Catelin’s wedding day
Moyra blushes red
Finally getting her married off
Into the church she’s led
Up to the altar Catelin slips
Her petticoat s over her head
Oh gosh all mighty where’s your knickers Catelin


New Chorus
Where’s your knickers Captain
Where’s you knickers girl
Did you leave them on a passing ship?
Or run them up the mainsail
Your husband is gonna have a fit
Your steward is going to faint
Crying gosh all mighty where’s your knickers Captain


{Slower}
Your husband is gonna have a fit
Your Steward is gonna faint
Oh gosh all mighty where’s your knickers Captain
