Song lyrics
Shoop shoop, shoop de-lang de-lang
Shoop shoop, shoop de-lang de-lang
Shoop shoop, shoop de-lang de-lang
Shoop shoop, shoop de-lang de-lang
Shoop shoop, shoop de-lang de-lang
Shoop shoop, shoop de-lang de-lang
Shoop shoop, shoop de-lang de-lang
Shoop shoop, shoop de-lang de-lang

Oh whatcha gonna do, Katie?
You're a sweet sweet girl.
But It's a cruel, cruel world
a cruel, cruel world.

My pins are none too strong, Katie
Oh hurry up, Mrs Brown
I can feel 'em coming down
and won't take none too long

But since you said goodbye
The polka dots fill my eye
And I don't know why

Shoop shoop, shoop de-lang de-lang
Shoop shoop, shoop de-lang de-lang
Shoop shoop, shoop de-lang de-lang
Shoop shoop, shoop de-lang de-lang

Oh whatcha gonna do, Katie?
You're a sweet sweet girl.
But It's a cruel, cruel world
a cruel, cruel world.

My safety pins are none too strong, Katie
they hold my life together
And I never say never
'and I never say never again

Oh but since you said goodbye
the polka dots filled my eyes
and i don't know why

Since you said goodbye
the polka dots fill my eyes
and i don't know why
Say you want
Say you will
Say you won't but don't leave me standing
Say you will, it's up to anyone
That's what they all like to know...

And since you said goodbye
the polka dots fill the sky
And i don't know why
Shoop de-lang-de-lang

LOL - Did Pete predict his future while this? The way I look at it now:
Katie = Kate Moss
Cruel, Cruel World = Media & Fashion
Safety Pin = Relationship

A bit too accurate IMO :p

i love this song.
it's so.. just adorable, really.
i think it's the whole "polka dots fill my eyes"

i think one of my favourite things about this song (especially on this album) is that it's so calm and doesn't having Pete and Carl singing at each other in menacing, accusatory tones.

maybe the "safety pins" are syringes?

or wasn't pete involved with drugs when he wrote this??
