lyrics or other text:"The Sweety Katy Song"
by G. S. Khalsa
Late 1980's

This is one a few "family originals"...

The lyric is simply "Sweety Katy" (a term of endearment
I use for my younger daughter, Katy) repeated endlessly,
over a light-hearted tune.

This little piece is usually sung "a capella" in
one of two ways, always as a gesture of love:

1) in the day time, cheerfully with slight exaggerations
of pitch or emphasis to make her laugh.

or

2) at bedtime as a lullaby, more slowly and softly,
the first few times using her name, then slowly
fading toward silence, humming only the melody.
