Since Kitten's Knittin' Mittens (for the Army) sheet music cover         "Kitten was a girl from Kansas City   Kansas City
        Kitty was her name   She was young and she was very pretty
        But let me tell you how she won her fame:
        Since KITTEN'S KNITTIN' MITTENS for the army
        She cannot fill their orders and demands
        She's got so many sweethearts in the army
        She really needs a million pairs of hands
        For the Private and the Corp'ral and the Sergeant
        She's sittin' by her knittin' night and day
        SINCE KITTEN'S KNITTIN' MITTENS for the army
        She's the sweetheart of the U.S.A.
        Since Each morning she is knittin' Click clack Click Clack
        Sittin'with her knittin' Click clack click clack
        She's dropped so many stitches   But she don't give a darn
        Can she make army britches?   Well that's another yarn.
        Since KITTEN'S KNITTIN' MITTENS for the army
        She got in Dutch with Sailors and Marines
        She's got so many sweethearts in the army
        She even learned to like the army beans
        For the Captain and the Col'nel and the Gen'ral
        She's doin' what she's doin' night and day
        SINCE KITTEN'S KNITTIN' MITTENS for the army
        She's the sweetheart of the U.S.A."
