Kathleen, oh my baby's name is Kathleen
All the others think she's quite the thing
Lovin' darlin', Kathleen, aha
Lovely queen
Yes, my baby is a lovely queen
When you see her, you'll know what I mean
Lovin' darlin', Kathleen

Jukebox' playin' baby
Bobby sox's maybe...
All these things and then some more
But she's the one I adore
Magazines, cokes and candy
Make the perfect queen
Even in a pair of old blue jeans
Lovin' darlin', Kathleen, aha
Lovin' darlin', Kathleen

Now, some may find her tragic
Strangely pulled by magic
Other loves have died and gone
But mine for her lingers on
Kathleen, I can never make her mine it seems
Her ambition is the movie screen
Lovin' darlin', Kathleen, aha
Lovin' darlin', Kathleen, aha
Lovin' darlin', Kathleen, aha
Lovin' darlin', Kathleen, aha

The following is a transciption of Glen Glenn's version:

Kathleen, oh my baby's name is Kathleen
All the others think she's quite the thing
Lovin' darlin', Kathleen
Kathleen, her ambition is the movie screen
I can never make her mine it seems
Oh lovin' darlin', Kathleen
Jukebox' playin' baby
Bobby sox's maybe...
All of this and then some more
But she's the one that I adore
Magazines, cokes and candy
Make the perfect dream
Even in a pair of old blue jeans
My lovin' darlin', Kathleen

Now, some may find her tragic
Strangely pulled by magic
Other loves have come and gone
But mine for her still lingers on
Magazines, cokes and candy
Make the perfect dream
Even in a pair of old blue jeans
Oh lovin' darlin', Kathleen
