She plays "Wipeout" on the drums
The squirrels and the birds come
Gather around to sing the guitar
Oh, I... Have you got nothing to say?

[Verse 2]
When all words fail, she speaks
Her mixtape's a masterpiece
Walks through the garden
So the roses can see
Oh, I... Have you got nothing to say?

[Pre-Chorus]
And you can see the daisies
In her footsteps
Dandelions (dandelions)
Butterflies (butterflies)

[Chorus]
I wanna be Kate!
Kate!
Kate!
Kate!

[Verse 3]
Every day she wears the same thing
I think she smokes pot
She's everything I want
She's everything I'm not
Oh, I... Have you got nothing to say?

She never gets wet
She smiles and it's a rainbow (oh, oh)
And she speaks (and she speaks)
And she breathes (yeah, and she breathes)

[Chorus]
I wanna be Kate!
Kate!
Kate!
Kate!

[Verse 4]
Down by Rosemary and Cameron
She hands out the Bhagavad Gita
I see her around every couple days
I wanna see her so that I can say, "Hey... Kate!"

[Bridge]
Ooh, la la la
Ooh, la la la
Oooh, la la la laa
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo

[Pre-Chorus]
She never gets wet
She smiles and it's a rainbow (oh, oh)
You can see (you can see)
I wanna wanna wanna wanna be...
