The Pretty Little Mitt that Kitty Knit sheet music cover
"We've been hearing quite a lot of propaganda. And it is such a funny war you must admit.
Tho' there's lots you can't believe, I've the story up my sleeve, of the Pretty Little Mitt that Kitty knit.
With her needles keeping time to Tipperary. She determined she would do her little bit.
Some may fight their way to fame, Kitty made it just the same with the Pretty Little Mitt that Kitty knit.
She started on a sock but she kind a lost her nerve, Shock followed sock, for she couldn't make the curve,
all tangled up in the Red and White and Blue, She tried to knit on the back of it a cheery 'How are you?'
Then she wrapped it up and sent it to the soldiers, But they found that they had nothing it would fit,
Stuff'd it down a blink-in gun, shot it over to the Hun, Oh! the Pretty Little Mitt that Kitty knit.
Then the Nazi Agents sent it to Der Fuehrer. When he looked at it he nearly threw a fit,
For he tho't there was a trap or a secret code or map in the Pretty Little Mitt that Kitty knit.
So Der Fuehrer summon'd all his mighty war lords, but they didn't like the look of it a bit.
For they couldn't find the clue to the Red and White and Blue, In the Pretty Little Mitt that Kitty knit.
And then Der Fuehrer cried 'Never saw the like before, I'd let it ride, but it's such a funny war.
Move after move I've been happy to predict. Now I confess that I've miss'd a guess, I'm absolutely licked.'
Then he packed it with a letter off to Blighty, Stating briefly he was quite prepared to quit.
Now revered by one and all, on the Foreign Office Wall, hangs the Pretty Little Mitt that Kitty knit.
