Du Barry Was a Lady - Katie Went to Haiti Lyrics

1939 Broadway
Du Barry Was a Lady the Musical - Katie Went to Haiti Lyrics

The song is written by Cole Porter.

Katie went to Haiti
Stopped off for a rest
Katie met a natie
Katie was impressed
After a week in Haiti
She started to go away
Then Katie met another natie
So Katie prolonged her stay
After a month in Haiti
She decided to resume her trip
But Katie met still another natie
And Katie missed the ship
So Katie lived in Haiti
Her life there, it was great
'Cause Katie knew her Haiti
And practically all Haiti
Knew Katie

Katie stayed in Haiti
Spending all her pay
Katie met a natie
Ev'ry other day
Katie would tell the natie
That Katie was out for thrills
Each natie got a few for Katie
And Katie, she got the bills
After a year in Haiti
She decided she should really go
But Katie had lived at such a ratie
That Katie had no dough
So Katie stuck to Haiti
Delighted with her fate
'Cause Katie still had Haiti
And practically all Haiti
Had Katie

Katie looked at Haiti
Feeling rather tired
Katie met a natie
Katie was inspired
After another natie
She sat down and wrote a book
A guidebook for visitors to Haiti
Called " Listen, Stop and Look! "
After the book by Katie
Had been published in the U.S.A.,
The ratie of tourist trade in Haiti
Got bigger ev'ry day
When Katie died at eighty
They buried her in state
For Katie made her Haiti
And practically all Haiti
Made Katie

Du Barry Was a Lady the Musical Lyrics

When Love Beckoned
But in the Morning, No!
Do I Love You?
Give Him the Ooh-La-La
Well, Did You Evah!
It Was Written in the Stars
Katie Went to Haiti
Friendship
